Thank you and good-bye, sir," says Kalam.He hangs up and says,"Did you get that, Mr. Ranil?"Ranil nods:"Yes Mr. President.Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!"Ranil, upon returning to Colombo , decides he'd better put his friend, Ravi to the test.Ranil summons him to Temple Trees and says,"Ravi , I wonder if you can answer a question for me.""Why, of course, Aiya. What's on your mind?"Ranil poses the question:"Uhh, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister.Who is it?"Ravi was puzzled and finally asks,"Can I think about it and get back to you?"Ranil agrees, and Ravi leaves.Ravi immediately calls a meeting of the senior armed services & ministers of the cabinet, including his other friends, SB & Kirielle and they puzzle over the question for several hours, but nobody can come up with an answer.Finally, in desperation, Ravi calls Wimal Weerawansa and explains the problem."Mr. Wimal Weerawansa, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"Wimal answers immediately,"It's me, of course."Much relieved, Ravi rushes back to Temple Trees, finds Ranil, and exclaims,"I know the answer, Mr. Rasnil!I know, who it is!It's Wimal Weerawansa !"And Ranil replies in disgust,"Wrong, its Manmohan Singh!"</blockquote>
