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 40 years wandering in the desert
and ended up leading my people to the only spot in the entire Middle
East with no oil."
