Tony Abbott asks the Queen, “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.”
Abbott 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 Charles in here, would you?”
Prince Charles walked into the
room and said,
“Yes, Mummy?”
The Queen smiled and said,
“Answer me this please Charlie.
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 Charles answered
“That
would be me.”
“Yes! Very good.” said the Queen.
Tony Abbott
went back home to Australia by
Qantas
He decided to ask Joe Hockey 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’m not sure,” said Hockey.
“Let me get back to you on
that one.”
He went to his advisers and asked everyone, but none could give him an answer.
Frustrated, Hockey went to the toilet, and found Clive Palmer there.
Joe Hockey went up to him and
asked,
“Hey Clive, 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 is it?”
Clive Palmer
answered,
“That’s easy, it’s me!”
Joe Hockey grinned, and
said,
“Good answer Clive, I see it all
now!”
Joe Hockey then, went back to find Tony Abbott.
“Tony, I did
some research,
and I have the
answer to that riddle.”
“It’s Clive Palmer”
Tony Abbott got up,
stomped over to Joe Hockey, and angrily yelled into his face,
“No! You
bloody idiot! It’s Prince Charles!”
