The Queens Riddle
Barack Obama 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."
Obama 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 intelligent riddle."
The Queen pushes a button on her intercom. "Please send Paul McCartney in
here, would you?"
Paul McCartney walks into the room. "Yes, my Queen?" The Queen smiles.
"Answer me this, please, Sir Paul. 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, Paul McCartney answers, "That would be me."
"Yes! Very good," says the Queen.
Obama goes back home to ask Joe Biden, his vice president, the same question.
"Joe. 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 Biden. "Let me get back to you on that one." He
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 Ron
Paul's shoes in the next stall.
Biden asks Paul, "Ron! 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?"
Ron Paul yells back, "That's easy. It's me!"
Biden smiles, and says, "Thanks!" Then, he goes back to speak with Obama.
"Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It's
Ron Paul."
Obama gets up, stomps over to Biden, and angrily yells into his face,
"No, you idiot! It's Paul McCartney!
