Julia Gillard met with the Queen of England.
She asked her, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an
efficient government? Are there any tips you can give to me?"
"Well," said the Queen, "the most important thing is to
surround yourself with intelligent people."
Gillard frowned, and then asked, "But how do I know
the people around me are really 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. "Please sendDavid Cameron in here, would you?"
David Cameron walked into the room and said, "Yes, my
Queen?"
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 Cameronanswered,
"That would be me."
"Yes! Very good," said the Queen.
Gillard went back home to ask Wayne Swan, her deputy the same question. "Wayne, 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 Swan. "Let me get back to you on that one.." He went to his advisors and asked every one, but none could give him an answer. Finally, he ended up in the men's room and recognized Gough Whitlam's shoes in the next stall.
Swan asked Whitlam, "Gough, can you answer this for
me? Your mother and father have a child and it's notyour brother or your sister. Who is it?"
Gough Whitlam yelled back, "That's easy, it's me!"
Swan smiled, and said, "Thanks!" Then, he went back
to speak with Gillard. "I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It is Gough Whitlam"
Julia Gillard got up, stomped over to Swan, and angrily yelled
into his face, "No! You *****! It's David Cameron!"
AND THAT MY FRIENDS IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH OUR GOVERNMENT.
