Not a picture, but still funny.

The Queen's Riddle
*
Barack Obama met with the Queen of England.
He asked her, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government?
Are there any tips you can give to me?"
*
"Well," said the Queen, "The most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people."
*
Obama frowned, and* then asked, "But how do I know the people around me are really intelligent?"
*
The Queen took a sip of tea and replied,* "Oh, that's easy: you just ask them to answer an
intelligent riddle." The Queen then pushed a button on her intercom and said,
"Please send Tony Blair in here, would you?"
*
Tony Blair walked
into the room and said, "Yes, Your Majesty?"
*
The Queen smiled and said, "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 answered,
"That would be me."* "Yes! very good," said the Queen.
*
Obama went 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. Its not your brother and its not your sister.
Who is it?"
*
"I'm not sure," said Biden. "Let me get back to you on that one."* He went to his advisers
and asked every one, but none could give him an answer.
*
Finally, Biden ran in to Sarah Palin while eating out one night.
*
Biden asked, "Sarah, can you answer this for me? Your mother and father
have a child and its not your brother or you sister. Who is it?"
*
Sarah Palin answered right back, "That's easy, its me!"*
Biden smiled, and said, "Thanks!"
Then he went back to speak with Obama. "Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that* riddle. ------ Its Sarah Palin."
*
Obama got up, stomped over to Biden, and angrily yelled into his face,
"No you idiot! Its Tony Blair!"
