A friend passed this along to me recently. Hope you enjoy it...

One sunny day in 2005, an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the Secret Service agent standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Kerry."
The Secret Service agent replied, "Sir, Mr. Kerry 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 Secret Service agent, "I would like to go in and meet with President Kerry."
The Secret Service agent again told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Kerry 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 Secret Service agent, saying "I would like to go in and meet with President Kerry."
The Secret Service agent, 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 Mr. Kerry. I've told you already that Mr. Kerry is not the President and doesn't reside here. Don't you understand?"
The old man answered, "Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it."
The Secret Service agent snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "See you tomorrow."
It's Del.icio.us!
Furl It!
