Go Julia
An airplane was about to crash; there were 5 passengers on board, but
only 4 parachutes.
The first passenger said, "I am President Obama, the chosen one. The
world needs me, I can't afford to die." So he took the first
parachute and left the plane.
The second passenger, Julia Gillard, said, "I am the prime Minister of
Australia and I am the smartest woman in Austarlian history, so
Australia's people don't want me to die." She took the second
parachute and jumped out of the plane.
The third passenger, John Kerry, said, "I'm a Senator, and a decorated
war hero from the Army of the United States of America ." So he
grabbed the parachute next to him and jumped.
The fourth passenger, ex-President George W. Bush, said to the fifth
passenger, a 10-year-old schoolgirl, "I have lived a full life, and
served my country the best I could. I will sacrifice my life and let
you have the last parachute."
The little girl said, "That's okay, Mr. President. There's a
parachute left for you. Australia 's smartest woman took my
schoolbag."

Meeeer not that funny really, jokes like this really only work well if the butt of the joke is obviously a long way from the suggestion made by the punch line but in this case Julia and Bush's roles in the joke are obviously reversed...

The first time I heard it Paul Keating 'the world's greatest treasurer' was the butt of the joke.

heres one i thought would apply well here
Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson go on a camping trip. After a good dinner and a bottle of wine, they retire for the night, and go to sleep.
Some hours later, Holmes wakes up and nudges his faithful friend. “Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.”
“I see millions and millions of stars, Holmes” replies Watson.
“And what do you deduce from that?”
Watson ponders for a minute. “Well,
Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.
Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo.
Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three.
Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.
Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful, and that we are a small and insignificant part of the universe.
But what does it tell you, Holmes?”
Holmes is silent for a moment.
“Watson, you idiot!” he says. “Someone has stolen our tent!”
