One sunny day in 2008, 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 . . ..
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"
