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 US Marine standing guard and said, "I'd like to go inside
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 US 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've been here asking to speak
to Mr. Clinton. I've told you already that Mr. Clinton is no longer
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!"
