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 Marine standing guard and said,
"I would like to go in and meet with
President Hillary Clinton."
The
Marine replied, "Sir, Mrs. Clinton is not
President and doesn't reside 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 Hillary
Clinton".
The
Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said
yesterday, Mrs. Clinton is not President and
doesn't reside here."
The man
thanked him and again walked away . .on the third
day, the same man approached the White House and
spoke to the very same Marine, saying "I
would like to go in and meet with President
Hillary 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 Mrs. Clinton. I've told you already
several times that Mrs. Clinton is not the
President and doesn't reside here. Don't you
understand?"
The old
man answered, "Oh, I understand you fine, I
just love hearing your answer!"
The
Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said,
"See you tomorrow, sir."
