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 H. Obama, 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 imposters and forgers, 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, but these are the bank rules and I must follow them."
Obama: "I am urging you to please cash this check."
Cashier: "Look, sir, here's what we can do: one day Tiger Woods came
into the bank without ID. To prove he was Tiger Woods, he pulled out
his putting iron 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 where the tennis ball hit
exactly in the center of the bank logo, ninety feet away. With that
spectacular shot, we cashed his check. So, what can you do to prove
that you are really the President of the United States?"
Obama stood there thinking..... and thinking..... and finally said:
"Honestly, there is nothing that comes to my mind. I can't think of a
single thing I can do."
Cashier: "Will that be large or small bills, Mr. President?"
