One sunny day in 2008, an old man approached the White House from 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 Hillary Clinton."
The Marine replied, "Sir, Mrs. Clinton is not President and doesn't reside here."
The old man said, "Okay," and walked away.
The following day, the old man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Hillary Clinton".
Again, the Marine told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mrs. Clinton is not the President and doesn't reside here."
The man thanked him and again walked away . . .
The third day, the old man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Hillary Clinton."
The Marine, slightly 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 Mrs. Clinton. I've told you several times that Mrs. Clinton is not the President and doesn't reside here. Do you understand?"
The old man answered, "Oh, I understand you perfectly, I just love hearing your answer!"
The Marine snapped to attention and saluted, "See you tomorrow, sir!"
