Someone passed this along to me this morning:

One sunny day in 2009, an old man approached the White House from across

Pennsylvania Avenue 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 have
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."

I love that joke. :lol: :clap:
