The Intelligence Test

While visiting England, George Bush is invited to tea with the Queen. He asks her what her leadership philosophy is. She says that it is to surround herself with intelligent people. He asks how she knows if theyre intelligent.I do so by asking them the right questions, says the Queen.Allow me to demonstrate.She phones Tony Blair and says, Mr. Prime Minister. Please answer this question: Your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or sister. Who is it?Tony Blair responds ,Its me, maam.Correct. Thank you and good-bye, sir, says the Queen. She hangs up and says, Did you get that, Mr. Bush?Yes maam. Thanks a lot. Ill definitely be using that!Upon returning to Washington, he decides hed better put the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to the test. He summons Richard Lugar to the White House and says, Senator Lugar, I wonder if you can answer a question for me.Why, of course, sir. Whats on your mind?Uhh, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?Lugar hems and haws and finally asks, Can I think about it and get back to you?Bush agrees, and Lugar leaves. He immediately calls a meeting of other senior Republican senators, and they puzzle over the question for several hours, but nobody can come up with an answer. Finally, in desperation, Lugar calls Colin Powell at the State Department and explains his problem.Now lookee here, son, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?Powell answers immediately, Its me, of course, you dumb cracker.Much relieved, Lugar rushes back to the White House and exclaims, I know the answer, sir! I know who it is! Its Colin Powell!And Bush replies in disgust, Wrong, you dumbass, its Tony Blair!
