While going through an airport during one of his many trips, President
Bush encountered a man with long gray hair and beard, wearing a white
robe and sandals, holding a staff. President Bush went up to the man and
said, "Has anyone told you that you look like Moses?" The man didn't
answer. He just kept staring straight ahead.
The president said, "Moses!" in a loud voice. The man just stared
ahead, never acknowledging the president. The president pulled a Secret
Service agent aside and, pointing to the robed man, asked him, "Am I
crazy or does that man not look like Moses to you?" The Secret Service
agent looked at the man and agreed. "Well," said the president, "every
time I say his name, he ignores me and stares straight ahead, refusing
to speak. Watch!"
Again the president yelled, "Moses!" and again the man ignored him.
The Secret Service agent 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 back, "Shhhh... yes, I am Moses. But
the last time I talked to a bush, I spent 40 years wandering in the
desert and ended up leading my people to the only spot in the entire
Middle East with no oil."
