President Bush is trying to sleep one night in the White House. He`s very restless, and in the middle of the night he looks up to see George Washington standing at the foot of his bed. “My goodness! George Washington! May I ask you a question? ” says the President. ” What can I do right now to make the country better?” Washington replies, “Try always to be as honest and honorable as me”. With that, Bush falls to sleep.
Awhile later he wakes up, this time to find Thomas Jefferson standing by his bed. “Wow!” says Bush. “Thomas Jefferson, please tell me! What can I do right now to make the country better?” Jefferson replies, “Always respect the Constitution, as I did”. Finally, Bush figures he will get some sleep.
But to his amazement, he wakes one more time to find Abe Lincoln silently standing at his bedside. “Abraham Lincoln! Tell me please, what can I do right now to make the country a better place?”. Lincoln looks at him and says……….”Relax, go see a play”.
