An old man approached the
White House from the park across Pennsylvania Ave. where he'd
been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the U. S. Marine standing
guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President
Bush."
The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr. Bush is
no longer President and no longer resides here."
The old man said, "Okay," and walked away.
The following day, the same man approached the White House and
said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet
with President Bush."
The Marine again told the man, "Sir, Mr. Bush is no longer
President and no longer resides here."
The man thanked him and, again, just walked away.
The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke
to the very same U. S. Marine, saying "I would like to go
in and meet with President Bush."
The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at
the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you
have been here asking to speak to Mr. Bush. I've told you already
that Mr. Bush is no longer the president and no longer resides
here. Don't you understand?"
The old man looked at the Marine and said, "Oh, I understand.
I just love hearing it."
The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "See
you tomorrow!"
