George W. Bush Meets Moses
George W. Bush was walking through an airport
last week, when he saw an old man with white hair, a long white beard, wearing
a long white robe and holding a staff. He walked up to the man, who was staring
at the ceiling, and "Excuse me sir, aren't you Moses?"
The man stood perfectly still and continued to stare
at the ceiling, saying nothing. Again, George W. asked, a little louder this
time, "Excuse me sir, aren't you Moses?" Again, the old man stared
at the ceiling motionless without saying a word. George W. tried a third time,
louder yet. "Excuse me sir, aren't you Moses?" Again, no movement or
words from the old man. He continued to stare at the ceiling.
One of George W's aides asked him if there was a problem,
and George W. said, "Either this man is deaf or extremely rude. I have asked
him three times if he was Moses, and he has not answered me yet." To which
the man, still staring at the ceiling finally replied to the aide, "I can
hear him and yes, I am Moses, but the last time I spoke to a bush, I spent 40
years wandering in the wilderness."
