> The Best Son
>
> There was this little old lady who was nearly blind and she had three sons who wanted to prove which one was the best son to her.
> So Son #1 bought her a 15-room mansion thinking this would surely be the best any of them could offer her.
> Son #2 bought her a beautiful Mercedes with a chauffeur included, thinking this would surely win her approval.
> Son #3 had to do something even better than these, so he bought her a parrot that had been trained for 15 years to memorize the entire Bible. You could ask of him any verse in the Bible and the parrot could quote it word for word. What a gift that would be!
> Well, the old lady went to the first son and said, "Son, the house is just gorgeous but it's really much too big for me. I only live in one room, and it's much too large for me to clean and take care of. I really don't need the house, but thank you anyway."
> Then she confronted her second son with "Son, the car is beautiful, it has everything you could ever want on it, but I don't drive and I really don't like that driver, so please return the car."
> Next, she went to son number three and said, "Son, I just want to thank you for your most thoughtful gift. That chicken was delicious."

At his meeting with Queen Elizabeth recently, John Howard turned to the Queen and said:
"As I'm the Prime Minister, I'm thinking of changing how my great country is referred to, and I'm thinking that it should be a Kingdom."
The Queen replied, "I'm sorry Mr. Howard, but to be a Kingdom, you have to have a King in charge - and you're not a King."
John Howard thought a while and then said: "How about a Principality then?"
To which the Queen replied, "Again, to be a Principality you have to be a Prince - and you're not a Prince, Mr. Howard."
Howard thought long and hard and came up with, ”How about an Empire then?"
The Queen, getting a little annoyed by now, replied: "Sorry again, Mr. Howard, but to be an Empire you must have an Emperor in charge and you are not an Emperor."
Before Howard could utter another word, The Queen said: "I think you're doing quite nicely as a Country."
