Fiction, but Fun.

One sunny day in January, 2013, an old man approached the

White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue where

he'd been sitting on a park bench. 

He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said,

"I would like to go in and meet with President Obama."

The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr. Obama

is no longer President and no longer resides 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 Obama."

The Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday,

Mr. Obama is no longer President and no longer resides here."

The man thanked him and again just walked away. The third

day the same man approached the White House and spoke to

the very same U.S. Marine, saying, "I would like to go in and

meet with President Obama." 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. Obama.

I've told you already that Mr. Obama is no longer the President

and no longer resides here. Don't you understand?"

The old man looked at the Marine and said,
"Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it."

The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "See you tomorrow, Sir!”
