    Brian Cowen meets with the Queen and asks her, how come she has
    such an efficient Parliament?

    "Well," says the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround
    yourself with intelligent people."

    Cowen frowns "But how do I know the people around me are really
    intelligent?"

    The Queen takes a sip of tea. "Oh, that's easy. You just ask them to
    answer an intelligent riddle." The Queen pushes a button. "Please
    send Gordon Brown in here, would you?"

    Brown walks into the room. "Yes, my Queen?"

    The Queen smiles. "Answer me this, please, Gordon. 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, Brown answers, "That would be me."

    "Yes! Very good," says the Queen.

    Cowen returns to Dublin and asks Martin Cullen, the same question.
    "Martin. 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," says Cullen "Let me get back to you on that one." He
    goes to his advisors but none can give him an answer. Finally, he
    ends up in the toilet and recognises William O Dea's shoes in the next
    cubicle.

    Cullen asks, "William! 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?"

    Minister O Dea yells back, "That's easy. It's me!"

    Cullen smiles, and says, "Thanks!" Then, he goes back to speak with
    Cowen.

    "Howya, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle.
    It's Minister O' Dea."

    Cowen gets up, stomps over to Cullen, and angrily yells into his
    face,
    "No, you idiot! It's Gordon Brown!"

    I think the poster meant:

    IF Willie really gave (AN) answer, he would have replied, "What answer does Brian Cowen want from me?"
