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 whirrs 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!"
