Barak Obama and Gordon Brown are shown a time machine which can see 100 years into the future. They both decide to test it by asking a question each.
Barak goes first.
“What will the USA be like in 100 years time”
The machine whirrs and beeps and goes into action and gives
him a printout, he reads it out "The country is in good hands under the new president, crime is non-existent, there is no conflict. The economy is healthy. There are no worries."
Gordon thinks “Its not bad this time machine, I'll have a bit of that", so he asks "What will Great Britain be like in 100 years' time?"
The machine whirs and beeps and goes into action, and he gets a printout. But he's just staring at it.
“Come on, Gordon” says Barak, “What does it say?”
Gordon replies, “Buggered if I know! It's all in Arabic!”
