THE OLD MAN...

One sunny day, in 2004, an old man approached the White House in Washington from across road, where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the USMC Officer standing guard and said, I would like to go in and meet with President Kerry."

The USMC officer replied, "Sir, Mr. Kerry is not President and he 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 USMC Officer, "I would like to go in and meet with President Kerry."

The Officer again told the man, "Sir, as I told you 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 Officer, saying "I would like to go in and meet with President Kerry."

The Officer , understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you have come here, asking to speak to Mr. Kerry. I've told you already that Mr. Kerry is not President and doesn't reside here. Don't you understand?"

The old man answered, "Oh, I understand, I just love coming here every day and hearing it."

The Officer snapped to attention, saluted and said, "See you tomorrow Sir."
