The Ex-President

A man went to the White House Front Gate and asked to see the ex-President.

The Marine on duty said, "I’m sorry, but he is no longer the President, so he is not there anymore."

The man thanked the guard and went away.

The next day he returned to the White House and asked again to see the ex-President. Once again, the Marine on duty reported that the person he was asking for was no longer the President, and thus did not reside at the White House. So, the visitor left.

The third day the same man returned and the same Marine was on duty.

Once again the man asked the Marine if he could see the ex-President, to which the Marine responded loudly, "WHY DO YOU KEEP COMING HERE ASKING FOR HIM? HE IS NOT THE PRESIDENT ANYMORE!!!"

The man smiled happily and said, "I know, I just like hearing it!"
