One sunny day in 2008, an old man approached the
White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where
he's 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.
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 just
fine. I just love hearing your answer!"
The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and
said, "See you tomorrow."
