[BITList] Riddle

[John Feltham]

Sonia Gandhi met the Queen of England.

Sonia asked the Queen, "Your Majesty, now that I am also a Queen of the Gandhi-Nehru dynasty in India, are there any tips you can give to me to stay in power?"

Well," said the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people."

Sonia frowned, and then asked, "But how do I know the people around me are intelligent?"

The Queen took a sip of tea. "Oh, that's easy; you just ask them to  answer an intelligent riddle.

"The Queen pushed a button on her intercom. "David Cameron - Please  come in here, would you?"

David walked into the room and said, "Yes, Your Majesty?"

The Queen smiled and said, "Answer me this please, David, 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, David Cameron answered, "That would be me, ma'am."

"Yes! Very good. Dismissed!" said the Queen. Then she turned to Sonia with a smile and said "See?".

Sonia went back to India and called Manmohan Singh and asked "Manmohanji, 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 Manmohan. "Let me get back to you on that one..."

Manmohan went to his advisors and asked every one, but none could give him an answer.

Finally, he ran into Narendra Modi and asked, "Narendrabhai, 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?"

Narendra Modi answered, "That's easy, it's me!"

Manmohan smiled, and said, "Thanks!". Then, he phoned Sonia. "Hello, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It's Narendra Modi!"

Sonia got really angry and shouted at Manmohan Singh, "No! No! You idiot! It's David Cameron!"
