Donald Trump went to London and met with the Queen.
"Your
Queenship," he asked her, "I am finding things way more
difficult than
I could have imagined. May I ask you - how do
you run such an efficient
government? Are there any tips
you can give me?"
"Well," replied Her Majesty, "the most important thing is to surround
yourself with intelligent people."
Trump frowned.
"But how do you know the people around you are really
intelligent?" he asked.
"Oh, that's easy,” the Queen replied. “You just ask them to answer
an intelligent riddle.”
She pushed a button on her intercom. "Please send
Theresa May in here."
The Prime Minister walked into the room.
"You called for me, Your Majesty?"
"Answer
me this, if you would, Theresa," the Queen said,
"Your mother and
father have a child. It is not your brother
and it is not your sister.
Who is it?"
Without pausing for even a second, Theresa May answered,
"That would be me."
"Yes! Very good," said the Queen.
Trump
went back home, returned to the White House and the
very next day
called for Mike Pence to come and see him.
Pence quicky trotted in
to the Oval Office.
"Mike,
answer this for me," said Donald. "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 Pence. “Let me get back to you on that one."
Pence went panicking off to his advisers and asked everyone,
but none of them could give him an answer.
The
next night, as it happened, Pence ran in to Hillary Clinton
in a
restaurant. By now, desperate for an answer to give to his
tyrannical
boss, he approached her -- much to her surprise.
"Hillary, I know we haven't always seen eye to eye but I would
really appreciate it if you could answer this riddle for me."
"Sure, Mike," Hillary said. "I’m not one to hold a grudge.
What is it?"
"Thanks," said Pence, "It’s this. Your mother and father have a
child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"
Hillary answered right back, "That's easy, it's me!"
Pence smiled, "Thanks!"
Pence
then went back to speak with Trump. "Say, boss,
I did some research and
I have the answer to that riddle.
It's Hillary Clinton."
Trump got up, stomped over to Pence, and angrily yelled at him.
"No, you idiot! It's Theresa May!"
