President
Obama walks into the Bank of America to cash a check.
As
he approaches the cashier he says, "Good morning Ma'am, could
you please cash this check for me?"Cashier:
"It
would be my pleasure sir. Could you please show me your ID?"
Obama:"Truthfully,
I did not bring my ID with me as I didn't think there was any need to. I am
President Barack Obama, the President of the United States of AMERICA
!!!!"
Cashier:"Yes
sir, I know who you are, but with all the regulations and monitoring of
the banks because of impostors and forgers and requirements of the
Dodd/Frank legislation, etc., I must insist on seeing
ID."
Obama:
Just ask anyone here at the bank who I am and they will tell you. Everybody
knows who I am."
Cashier:"I
am sorry Mr. President but these are the bank rules and I must follow
them."
Obama:"I
am urging you, please, cash this check."
Cashier:"Look
Mr. President, here is an example of what we can do. One day, Tiger Woods came
into the bank without ID.
To
prove he was Tiger Woods he pulled out his putter and made a beautiful shot
across the bank into a cup.
With
that shot we knew him to be Tiger Woods and cashed his
check.
Another
time, Andre Agassi came in without ID. He pulled out his tennis racquet and made
a Fabulous shot as the tennis ball landed in my cup. With that shot we cashed
his check.
So,
Mr. President, what can you do to prove that it is you, and only you, as the
President of the United States?"
Obama:
Obama stands there thinking, and thinking, and finally says, "Honestly, my mind
is a total blank...there is nothing that comes to my mind.
I
can't think of a single thing. I have absolutely no idea what to do and I
don't have a clue.
Cashier:"Will
that be large or small bills, Mr.
President?"
