Joke du Jour

[asperity]

Jeremy Corbyn asked the Queen. "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient organisation? Are there any tips you can give me?"

"Well." Said the Queen. "The most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people."

Jeremy Corbyn then asked. "But how do I know if 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, watch me and listen."

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, Mother?

The Queen smiled and said to Charles. "Answer me this please Charles. 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.

Ah ha I get it said Jeremy, thank you Ma'am. And in a great rush he left.

Corbyn went back to Parliament and decided to ask Diane Abbott the same question.

"Diane, 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 Abbott. And then in true Diane Abbott style she went on to say. "Let me get back to you on that one."

She went to her advisers and asked everyone, but none could give her an answer.

Frustrated, Diane went for a coffee and met Nigel Farage. "Nigel, see if you can answer this question."

"Okay." Replied Nigel.

"Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"

Farage immediately answered,."That's easy, it's me!"

Abbott grinned and said. "Good answer Nigel, I see it all now!"

Abbott then, went back to find Corbyn and said to him. "Jeremy, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle
'If your mother and father have a child who is not your brother or your sister, the child is Nigel Farage!"'

Corbyn went red in the face, got up, stomped over to Abbott, and yelled in her face. "No! You bloody idiot! It's Prince Charles!"
