From puer, a boy:
The 4 Ghosts
One night, George W. Bush is tossing restlessly in his White House
bed. He awakens to see George Washington standing by him.
Bush asks him, "George, what's the best thing I can do to help the
country?"
"Set an honest and honorable example, just as I did," Washington advises,
and then fades away.
The next night, Bush is astir again, and sees the ghost of Thomas Jefferson
moving through the darkened bedroom. Bush calls out, "Tom, please!
What is the best thing I can do to help the country?"
"Respect the Constitution, as I did," Jefferson advises, and dims from sight.
The third night sleep is still not in the cards for Bush. He awakens
to see the ghost of FDR hovering over his bed. Bush whispers, "Franklin, What
is the best thing I can do to help the country?"
"Help the less fortunate, just as I did," FDR replies and fades into the mist.
Bush isn't sleeping well the fourth night when he sees another figure moving
in the shadows. It is the ghost of Abraham Lincoln. Bush pleads, "Abe, what
is the best thing I can do right now to help the country?"
Lincoln replies, "Why don't you go see a play?"
