The Unconventional Gazette / May 19, 2013
When Barack Obama met with Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace, he asked her, "Yo … Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give 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 if the people around me are really intelligent?"
The Queen took a sip of champagne. "Oh, that's easy; you just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle, watch." The Queen pushed a button on her intercom. "Please send Prince Harry in here, would you?"
Prince Harry walked into the room and said, "Yes, Grandmother?"
The Queen smiled and said, "Answer me this please Harry. 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, Prince Harry answered, "That would be me, Grandmother."
"Yes Harry! Very good." said the Queen.
Obama returned to the White House and summoned Joe Biden to ask 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 haven’t the slightest idea," said Biden. "Let me get back to you on that one."
Biden went to his advisers and asked everyone the same question, but none could give him an answer. Frustrated, Biden went to work out in the congressional gym and saw Paul Ryan there. Biden went up to him and asked, "Hey Paul, you're a smart guy, see if you can answer this question."
"Shoot Joe."
“Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who the hell is it?"
Paul Ryan answered, "That's easy, it's me!"
Biden smiled, and said, "Good answer Paul!"
Biden then, went back to speak with President Obama. "Barry, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It's Paul Ryan!"
Obama got up, stomped over to Biden, and angrily yelled into his face, "No! You idiot! It's Prince Harry!"
