@socalgolfguy,
ANOTHER VERSION:
One sunny day, an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Ave. , 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 Gore."
The Marine replied, "Sir, Mr.Gore is not President, Bush is."
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 Gore."
The Marine again told the man, "Sir, Mr.Gore is not President, Bush is."
The man thanked him and again walked away . . .
The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same Marine, saying, "I would like to go in and meet with President Gore."
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 MrGore. I've told you already several times that Mr. Bush is the President Don't you understand?"
The old man answered, "Oh, I understand you fine, I just can't believe bush won!"
The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "See you tomorrow, Sir."
