Intelligence
While visiting England, President Chandrika Kumaratunga is invited to tea with the Queen. Chandrika asks the Queen what her leadership philosophy is.
She says that it is to surround herself with intelligent people.
Chandrika 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, Your Majesty" "Correct.
Thank you and good-bye " says the Queen. S
he hangs up and says, "Did you get that Chandrika?" "Yes Your Majesty.
Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!"
Upon returning to Colombo, Chandrika decides she'd better put her advisors to the test.
She summons Mangala to her residence and says, "Mangi, I wonder if you can answer a question for me." "Why, of course, ma'am . What's on your mind?" "Uhh, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?" Mangala hems and haws and finally asks, "Can I think about it and get back to you?" Chandrika agrees, and Mangala leaves.
Mangala immediately calls Anura, and they puzzle over the question for several hours, but nobody can come up with a legitimate answer. Finally, in desperation, Mangala calls Prof. GL and explains his problem.
"Now look here GL, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?" Prof. GL answers immediately, "It's me, of course, you idiot." Much relieved, Mangala rushes back to Chandrika and declares,
"I know the answer, ma'am ! I know who it is! It's GL!" And Chandrika replies in disgust, "Wrong you fool, it's Tony Blair"
