One sunny day in 2009 an old man approached the WhiteHouse from across Pennsylvania Avenue , where he'd beensitting on a park bench.
He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said,"I would like to go in and meet with PresidentBush
" The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr.Bush is no longer president and no longer resideshere
" The old man said, "Okay" and walked away
The following day, the same man approached the WhiteHouse and said to the same Marine, "I would like to goin and meet with President Bush
" The Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I saidyesterday, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longerresides here
" The man thanked him and, again, just walked away
The third day, the same man approached the White Houseand spoke to the very same U. S. Marine, saying "Iwould like to go in and meet with President Bush
" The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, lookedat the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in arow you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Bush.I've told you already that Mr. Bush is no longer thepresident and no longer resides here
?" Don't youunderstand
The old man looked at the Marine and said, "Oh, Iunderstand. I just love hearing it."
The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said,"See you tomorrow."
