A friend sent a joke and I got a much needed laugh out of it so I thought I’d share it:
One night, George W. Bush is tossing restlessly in his White House bed.
He awakens to see George Washington standing by him. Bush asks
him, “George, what’s the best thing I can do to help the country?”
“Set an honest and honorable example, just as I did,” Washington advises,
and then fades away.
The next night, Bush is astir again, and sees the ghost of Thomas
Jefferson moving through the darkened bedroom. Bush calls out, “Tom, please! What is
the best thing I can do to help the country?”
“Respect the Constitution, as I did,” Jefferson advises, and dims from
sight.
The third night sleep is still not in the cards for Bush. He awakens to
see the ghost of FDR hovering over his bed. Bush whispers, “Franklin, what is
the best thing I can do to help the country?”
“Help the less fortunate, just as I did,” FDR replies and fades into the
mist.
Bush isn’t sleeping well the fourth night when he sees another figure
moving in the shadows. It is the ghost of Abraham Lincoln. Bush pleads,
“Abe, what is the best thing I can do right now to help the country?”
Lincoln replies, “Go see a play.”
Check this out…Bobs back, and off his meds…hilarious.

Yet another reason to marvel at his mastery of the language.
Enjoy

oh thanks for those links!
Ha! Thanks for sharing that wilfred, it gave me a chuckle and the chills at the same time. Of all the artifacts at the American History Museum in DC, I’ll never forget Lincoln’s top hat, it seemed eerie in a pale light, as if it contained his ghost. [insert twilight zone music here] 🙂
LOL!! That was just too funny, especially after listening to today’s BS from the scalito hearings.
hey peachy, i love that joke, it made me laugh but made me shake my head too. But then, i do that all the time!
