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 Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in =
and meet with President Kerry."=20
The Marine replied, "Sir, Mr. Kerry is not President and doesn't reside =
here."=20
The old man said, "Okay," and walked away.=20
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 Kerry"
The Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Kerry is =
not President and doesn't reside here."=20
The man thanked him and again walked away.=20
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 =
Kerry."
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 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."=20
The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "Sir, see you =
tomorrow, Sir.=20
