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, to 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 whereas 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?
