Recently, 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. The last
time I talked to a bush, I spent forty years wandering in the desert and
ended up leading my people to the only spot in the entire Middle East with
no oil.'

President Bush never visits airports ......... He travels via
Air Force One .........

Oh yes, that's an integral part of the joke. ::)
I agree with Dm. It does seem a rather strange choice of location when it could have been anywhere, since it has no bearing on the joke.
Besides, it began supposing Bush knew who Moses was. That's very improbable.

And just where do you think Air Force One lands?
Only at the biggest of the big airports. WORLDWIDE!!
True, the Pres. never goes into the terminals. But their is such a thing as the tarmac.

And you call yourself a teacher? ::)
Iago, Why not put all the GWB stuff into the one thread? It will, apart from anything else, keep it near the top as you add new 'stuff'.

Besides which it was not Moses fault the hebrews wandered in circles for 40 yrs.
It was the 99.99999% of the hebrews who lacked faith that landed them in that mess.
Though YHWH was a bit neurotic in telling Moses, "since you struck the rock 3 times instead of once like i told you, you will not see the promise land". I thought it was a bit harsh, considering all the stuff Moses had to put up with in those early days of the hebrew nation.
Well, I thought the joke was funny. But, then again, I have a sense of humor ...

Thanks for the suggestion. But my ego does NOT require that any thread I start remains near the top.
