The Time Machine

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!”
