Nawaz Sherrif comes to Delhi for a meeting with Vajpayee. After dinner, Vajpayee says to Nawaz Sherrif: Well Nawaz, I dont know what you think of the members of your Cabinet, but mine are all bright and brilliant. How do you know? asks Nawaz Sherrif
Oh well, its simple, says Atal. They all have to take special tests before they can be a minister. Wait a second.
He calls Advani over and says to him
Tell me Advaniji, who is the child of your father and of your mother who is not your brother and is not your
sister? Ah, thats simple, says Advani, it is me!
Well done Advani, says Vajpayee and Nawaz Sherrif is very impressed.

He returns to Islamabad and wonders about the intelligence of the members of his Cabinet. He calls in his favourite
member of cabinet and asks: Tell me, who is the child of your father and of your mother who is not your brother and is not your sister?
He thinks and thinks and doesnt know the answer.
Can I think about it a bit further Nawaz ? May I let you know tomorrow?
Of course, says Nawaz Sherrif , youve got 24 hours.
He goes away, thinks as hard as he can, calls in his Cabinet Secretary, Chief Secretaries and Joint Secretaries, but
no-one knows the answer.
Twenty hours later, the member of Nawazs cabinet is very worried still no answer and only 4 hours to go. Eventually he
says: Ill ask Benazer, shes clever, shell know the answer.
He calls Benazer.
Benazir, he says, tell me who is the child of your father and of your mother who is not your brother and is not
your sister?
Very simple, says Benazir, its me!
Of course says the Cabinet member and rings Nawaz Sherrif.
Nawaz, says he, Ive got the answer: its Benazer Bhutto.
No, you idiot, says Nawaz Sherrif, its Advani.
