Just thought I'd share
If you have something to chuckle, post it, I think we can all do with a laugh

One sunny day in February 2009 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, as I said yesterday, 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?'

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, 'Yes Sir! See you tomorrow.'

Here is a classic:

American Navy and the Canadians


"What follows is a transcript of the ACTUAL radio conversation between a US Naval Ship and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland."

Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.

Americans: recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the north to avoid a collision.

Canadians: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.

Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

Canadians: No, I say again, divert your course.

Americans: This is the aircraft carrier USS Lincoln, the second largest ship in the United States Atlantic fleet. We are accompanied by three Destroyers, three Cruisers and numerous Support vessels. I demand that you change your course 15 degrees north. I say again, that's one five degrees north, or counter-measures will be undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship.

Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call."
