The Witch Is Gone

Latest joke to come over the email transom:

One sunny day in January 2009 an old man approached the White House from across
Pennsylvania Ave where he had been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the Marine
standing guard and said,

    "I would like to go and meet President Bush."

The Marine looked at the old man and replied,

    "Sir, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer lives here."

The old man says "OK" and walks away.

The next day the same old man walks across and asks the same Marine the same question
and the Marine, a bit irritated, gives the same reply and the old man walks away.

On the third day the same old man comes again and asks the same Marine,

    " I would like to go in and meet President Bush."

Now the marine is even more irritated at the man and says,

    "I told you yesterday and the day before that Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer lives 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."
