Australian Funny Political Jokes: Intelligence John Howard was on one of his trips to England, and decided to drop in and visit the Queen. He asks her for advice on how to succesfully rule an entire country. She says, "I like to surround myself with intelligent people". Howard says, "Well, how do ya know whether your people are intelligent or not?" She replies, "Look here". She picks up her phone, dials a number, and says, "Mister Tony Blaire". "Yes, your Majesty". "If my parents have a child which is neither my brother nor my sister, who is it?". "Why? If my parents have a child who's not my brother or my sister, it's me, of course". "See?", the Queen says to Howard.
Johnny returns to Australia and decides to find out if his people are intelligent. He calls up Peter Costello and says, "Hey Pete, if my parents have a kid, and it's not my brother or my sister, who is it?" Costello replies, "Hmmm, I don't know. Let me ask Downer". So Costello calls up Alexander Downer and says, "Mate, can i ask you a question?" "Ask away", Downer says. "If my parents have a child, which is not my brother or my sister, who is it?" "Ummm, ya dumb ass, if my parents have a child who's not my brother or my sister, it's me".
A few days later, Peter Costello calls up Howard and says, "Well after a lot of thought, I think I've figured it out. If my parents have a kid, and it's not my brother or my sister, it's Alexander Downer.
Howard replies "No, ya dumb ass, it's Tony Blaire!"
Australian Funny Political Jokes: Intelligence Darren Lockyer, the Pope, John Howard and a school boy were all on the same airplane when the engine failed and they realised there was four of them but only three parachutes. Darren Lockyer got up and said, I am a sporting superstar and must live so that I can continue my career to beat the Kiwis and the Poms in the tri-nations series. He grabbed a parachute and jumped off the plane. John Howard got up and said I am the smartest Prime Minister Australia has ever had and I have to live to continue to govern the country. Then the Pope said to the school boy, well I am old and have lived my life so you should take the last parachute. The school boy replied, “No, it's ok, the world’s smartest Prime Minister just took my school bag so there’s one for each of us!”
