>> "Well," says the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround
>> yourself with intelligent people."
>> Cowen 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. "Please

>> Brown walks into the room. "Yes, my Queen?"
>> The Queen smiles. "Answer me this, please, Gordon. Your mother

>> father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your
>> sister. Who is it?"
>> Without pausing for a moment, Brown answers, "That would be me."
>> "Yes! Very good," says the Queen.

>> Cowen returns to Dublin and asks Martin Cullen, the same

>> "Martin. Answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a

>> it?"
>> "I'm not sure," says Cullen "Let me get back to you on that
>> one." He
>> goes to his advisors but none can give him an answer. Finally, he

>> cubicle.
>> Cullen asks, "William! 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?"
>> Minister O Dea yells back, "That's easy. It's me!"
>> Cullen smiles, and says, "Thanks!" Then, he goes back to speak
>> with
>> Cowen.
>> "Howya, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle.
>> It's Minister O' Dea."

>> "No, you idiot! It's Gordon Brown!"
>>
>> Now you know why we're f****d
