This is a pretty elegant joke that highlights the political skills of Henry Kissinger (US Secretary of State in the 70s).

Kissinger goes to see a poor man and says, "I want to arrange a marriage for your son."

The poor man replies, "I never interfere in my son's life."

Kissinger responds, "But the girl is Lord Rothschild's daughter."

"Well, in that case..."

Next Kissinger approaches Lord Rothschild. "I have a husband for your daughter."

"But my daughter is too young to marry."

"But this young man is already a vice president of the World Bank."

"Ah, in that case..."

Finally Kissinger goes to see the president of the World Bank. "I have a young man to recommend you as a vice president."

"But I already have more vice presidents than I need."

"But this young man is Lord Rothschild's son-in-law."

"Hmm, in that case.....".
