The Marine
Shortly after President Bush took office, an old man approached the
White House from the park 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 Clinton."
The Marine looked at the man and said,
"Sir, Mr. Clinton 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 Clinton."
The Marine again told the man,
"Sir, Mr. Clinton 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 Clinton."
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. Clinton; I've told you
already that Mr. Clinton 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, Sir!"
