“As I’m the President, I’m thinking of changing how the country is
referred to, and I’m thinking that it should be a Kingdom”. To which the
Queen replies, “I’m sorry Mr Bush, but to be a Kingdom, you have to have
a King in charge - and you’re not a King.” George Bush thought a while
and then said: “How about a Principality then?”, to which the Queen
replied “Again, to be a Principality you have to be a Prince - and
you’re not a Prince, Mr Bush”. Bush thought long and hard and came up
with “How about an Empire then?” The Queen, getting a little T’ed off by
now replied " Sorry again, Mr Bush, but to be an Empire you must have an
Emperor in charge - and you are not an Emperor." Before George Bush
could utter another word, The Queen said: “I think you’re doing quite
nicely as a Country”.
very witty lol:woot:

An old classic reworked beautifully
While visiting England, George W. Bush is invited to tea with the Queen. He asks her what her leadership philosophy is. She says that it is to surround herself with intelligent people. He asks how she knows if they’re intelligent.
“I do so by asking them the right questions,” says the Queen. “Allow me to demonstrate.”
She phones Tony Blair and says, “Mr. Prime Minister. Please answer this question: Your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or sister. Who is it?”
Tony Blair responds, “It’s me, ma’am.”
“Correct. Thank you and good-bye, sir,” says the Queen. She hangs up and says, “Did you get that, Mr. Bush?”
“Yes ma’am. Thanks a lot. I’ll definitely be using that!”
Upon returning to Washington, he decides he’d better put the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to the test. He summons Jesse Helms to the White House and says, “Senator Helms, I wonder if you can answer a question for me.”
“Why, of course, sir. What’s on your mind?”
“Uh, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?”
Helms hems and haws and finally asks, “Can I think about it and get back to you?” Bush agrees, and Helms leaves. He immediately calls a meeting of other senior senators, and they puzzle over the question for several hours, but nobody can come up with an answer. Finally, in desperation, Helms calls Colin Powell at the State Department and explains his problem.
“Now look here Colin Powell, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother, or your sister. Who is it?” Powell answers immediately, “It’s me, of course, you dumb ass.”
Much relieved, Helms rushes back to the White House and exclaims, “I know the answer, sir! I know who it is! It’s Colin Powell!” And Bush replies in disgust, “Wrong, you dumb ass, It’s Tony Blair!”
