President Obama walks into a bank and asks to cash a cheque for $5000..
Teller: "No problem sir. Could you please show me your ID?"
Obama: "Well, I didn't bring my ID with me as I didn't think there was any need.
After all, I am the President of the USA.I am Barack Obama"
Teller: "Yes, I know who you are, but with all the regulations, I must insist on seeing ID."
Obama: "Just ask anyone here who I am and they will tell you. They all know who I am."
Teller: "I am sorry, but these are the bank rules and I must follow them."
Obama: "Is there some other way around this?"
Teller: "Look, here's what we can do. A while ago, Tiger Woods walked into the
bank without ID. To prove he was Tiger Woods he pulled out his putter and a golf ball
and putted it twenty metres across the floor into a cup. Then we were sure he was
Tiger Woods and cashed his cheque.
Another time, Peyton Manning came in without ID. He pulled out a ball and passed it
right into the hands of my teller 45m away. After that spectacular pass we cashed his cheque.
So, what can you do to prove to me that you are really the President?"
Obama stands, deep in thought for what seems like minutes then finally says:
"My mind's a complete blank. Honestly, I can't think of a single thing"
Teller: "Would fifties be OK, Mr President?"
Teller: "No problem sir. Could you please show me your ID?"
