In late January 2003, an old man approached the White House from Lafayette Park across Pennsylvania Avenue where he had been sitting on a bench. He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Clinton."
The Marine looked at the old fellow and said, "Sir, Mr. Clinton is no longer president and no longer resides here." The man replied, "Oh, O.K." and walked away.
The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine guard, "I would like to go in and meet with President Clinton." The Marine again told the man, "Sir Mr. Clinton is no longer president and doesn't live here any more."
The old gentleman thanked the Marine and, again, just walked away.
The third day, the same man approached the White House and addressed the same Marine, saying, "I would like to go in and speak with President Clinton."
The Marine, understandably a bit irritated at this point, gazed at the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row that you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Clinton. I've told you already that Mr. Clinton 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, son. I just love hearing it!" The Marine snapped to attention, smiled, saluted and said, "See you tomorrow, sir".
