One sunny day in
2005 an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a park
bench. He spoke to the U. S. Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President
Bush."
The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides
here."
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 Bush."
The Marine again told the
man, "Sir, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here." The man thanked him and, again, just walked
away.
The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same U. S. Marine, saying "I
would like to go in and meet with President Bush."
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 Mr. Bush. I've told
you already that Mr. Bush is no longer the
president and no longer resides here. Don't you
understand!?!":frustrate
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!":box:

We are not the same person this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy
chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person. - W. Somerset Maugham
