Moses
and the President
Recently
while going through an airport during one of his many trips, President
Bush encountered a man with long hair, wearing a white robe and sandals,
holding a staff. President Bush went up to the man and said, "Aren't
you Moses?" The man never answered but just kept staring ahead.
Again the President said, "Moses!" in a loud voice. The man just
kept staring ahead, never answered the president.
Soon
a secret service agent came along and President Bush grabbed him and said,
"Doesn't this man look like Moses to you?"
The
secret service agent agreed with the President.
"Well,"
said the President, "Every time I say his name, he just keeps staring
ahead and refuses to speak. Watch!"
Again,
the President yelled, "Moses!", and again the man stared ahead.
The secret service man went up to the man in the white robe and whispered,
"You look just like Moses. Are you Moses?"
The
man leaned over and whispered, "Yes, I am Moses. The last time I
talked to a bush I spent 40 years wandering in the desert.
