George Bush is visiting the Queen of
England. He asks her, "Your Majesty, how
do you run such an efficient government?
Are there any tips you can give 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 The Prime
Minister in here, would you?" Tony Blair
walks into the
room. "Your
Majesty..."
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, Blair answers,
"That would be me!"
"Yes! Very
good!" says the Queen.
Back at
the White House, Bush calls in his 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 advisers 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 asks 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 into his face,
"It's Tony Blair!"

Barbara Walters of 20/20 did a story on
gender roles in Kabul, Afghanistan
several years before the Afghan
conflict. She noted that women
customarily walked about 5 paces
behind their husbands. She returned to
Kabul recently and observed that women
still walk behind their husbands, but
now seem to walk even further back and
are happy with the old custom.
Ms.

it goes like this:

Our pastor, an avid golfer, was once
taking part in a local tournament. As he
was preparing to tee off, the organizer
of the tournament approached him and
pointed to the dark, threatening storm
clouds that were gathering.
"Preacher," the organizer said, "I
trust you'll see to it that the weather
won't turn bad on us."
Our pastor
shook his head. "Sorry," he replied.
"I'm sales, not management!"
