The Queen's Riddle...Barack Obama met with the Queen of England.
He 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."
Obama 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 send Tony Blair in here, would you?"
Tony Blair walked into the room and said, "Yes, my Queen?"
The Queen smiled and said, "Answer me this please, Tony, 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, Tony Blair answered, "That would be me."
"Yes! Very good," said the Queen.
Obama went back home to ask Joe Biden, his vice president 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 Biden. "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 Colin Powell's shoes in the next stall.
Biden asked Powell, "Colin, 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?"
Colin Powell yelled back, "That's easy, it's me!"
Biden smiled, and said, "Thanks!" Then, he went back to speak with Obama.
"Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It's Colin Powell!"
Obama got up, stomped over to Biden, and angrily yelled into his face, "No! You idiot! It's Tony Blair!"

Bowler Exposes Himself At Tournament
I have been upset at bowling tournaments in my life. Sometimes it was due to the performance of my teammates, and sometimes due to my own inability to perform. I have taken out my frustrations in many ways, including cursing, kicking the ball return, and one of my favorites, beer.
However, no matter how upset I have been, I have never felt the urge to expose myself during a tournament. New Zealand bowler David File did. At an Easter tournament, he and his tournaments were struggling, and he "flopped out his old fella" as he eloquently stated, to let him teammates know they were bowling like a bunch of d**kheads. What did File earn for this incident? A 10 year ban from bowling. Let this be a lesson to all you young and inspiring bowlers out there. Under no circumstances should you flop out the old fella when you are bowling bad!
