Nawaz Sharif & Bill Clinton

       Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif goes to Washington for a meeting with Bill Clinton. After dinner, Bill says to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif : "Well Sharif ,I  don't know what you think of the members of your Cabinet, but mine are all bright and brilliant." "How do you know?" asks Sharif  "Oh well, it's simple", says Bill. "They all have to take special tests before they can be a minister. Wait a second".  He calls Madeleine Albright over and says to her "Tell me Madeleine, who is  the child of your father and of your mother who is not your  brother  and is not your sister?"

   "Ah, that's simple Mr. President", says Madeleine, "it is me!" "Well done Madeleine", says Clinton and  our Sharif   is very impressed. He  returns to Islamabad and wonders about the intelligence of the members of his Cabinet.  He calls in Sartaj Aziz and says:

    "Sartaj Aziz , tell me, who is the child of your father and of your mother who is not your brother and is not your sister? "

  Sartaj Aziz thinks and thinks and doesn't know the answer. "Can I think   about it a bit further Mr. Prime Minister  ?  May I let you know  tomorrow?  "Of course", says Sharif, "you've got 24 hours."

 Sartaj Aziz goes away, thinks as hard as he can, calls in his  Cabinet Secretary, Chief Secretaries and Joint Secretaries, but no-one knows the answer. Twenty hours later, Sartaj Aziz is very worried -   still no answer and only 4 hours to go. Eventually Sartaj Aziz says "I'll ask George Fernandez, he's clever, he'll know the answer." He   calls Fernandez.

   "George ", he says, "tell me who is the child of your father and  of your mother who is not your brother and is not your sister?"

  "Very simple", says George, "it's me!" "Of course" says Sartaj Aziz and rings Sharif.

  "Mr. Prime Minister ", says Sartaj Aziz , "I've got the answer: it's George  Fernandez".

 "No, you idiot", says Sharif, "it's Madeleine Albright".
