An old man approached Parliament Hill from the park across the Ave. where he'd been sittingon a park bench. He spoke to the Security Guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with Jean Chretien."
The Security Guard looked at the man and said, "Sir, Jean Chrétien is no longer Prime Minister and no longer resides here."
The old man said, "Okay" and walked away.
The following day, the same man approached Parliament Hill and said to the same Security Guard, "I would like to go in and meet with Jean Chrétien."
The Security Guard again told the man, "Sir, Jean Chrétien is no longer Prime Minister and no longer resides here."
The man thanked him and, again, just walked away.
The third day, the same man approached Parliament Hill and spoke to the very same Security Guard , saying "I would like to go in and meet with Jean Chrétien"
The Security Guard , 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 Jean Chrétien. I've told you already that Jean Chrétien is no longer the Prime Minister and no longer resides here. Don't you understand?"
The old man looked at the Security Guard and said, "Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it!"
The Security Guard snapped to attention, saluted and said, "See you tomorrow, Sir!"
