[gbwarming]

(Dad forwarded this to me. Good for a chuckle - Sorry if it's a repeat)

George W. Bush meets with the Queen of England. He asks her, "Your
Majesty, How do you run such an efficient government? Are there any
tips you can give to me?"

"Well," says the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround
yourself with intelligent people."

Bush frowns. "But how do I know the people around me are really intelligent?"

The Queen takes a sip of tea. "Oh, that's easy. You just ask them to
answer an intelligence riddle." The Queen pushes a button on her
intercom. "Please send Tony Blair in here, would you?"

Tony Blair walks into the room. "Yes, my Queen?"

The Queen smiles. "Answer me this, please Tony. Your mother and father
have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister Who is it?"

Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answers, "That would be me."

"Yes! Very good," says the Queen.

Back at the White House, Bush asks to speak with vice president Dick
Cheney. "Dick, answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a
child. It's not your brother and it's not your sister. Who is it?"

"I'm not sure," says the vice president. "Let me get back to you on
that one." Dick Cheney goes to his advisors and asks every one, but
none can give him an answer. Finally, he ends up in the men's room
and recognizes

Colin Powell's shoes in the next stall.

Dick shouts, "Colin! Can you answer this for me? Your mother and
father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is
it?"

Colin Powell yells back, "That's easy. It's me!"

Dick Cheney smiles. "Thanks!" Cheney goes back to the Oval Office and to
speak with Bush. "Say, I did some research and I have the answer to
that riddle. It's Colin Powell."

Bush gets up, stomps over to Dick Cheney, and angrily yells in! to
his face, "No, you idiot! It's Tony Blair!"

5. another "George meets Liz" joke ...

When the Queen was visiting Washington D.C. during the elder Bush's presidency, Bar did her best to keep her eldest son from disrupting the proceedings. Well-lubricated with cocktails, he managed to evade his mother and popped up beside the royal guest -- introducing himself as "the black sheep of the family". Ignoring her withering glare, he then inquired, "who's your black sheep?"


Skip forward to Bush's first presidential visit to England, almost 2 decades later. Historical researchers had established by then that the Bushes are actually distant cousins (13th?) of the Windsors.

"Hi, remember me?", George W. inquired, as soon as the press were a safe distance away. "I certainly do," the Queen said. "We've checked about my family and the black sheep. It's still you."
