President Obama walks into the Wells Fargo Bank and says to a cashier,
"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 Barrack Obama, the president of
the United States .
Cashier: "Yes sir, I know who you are, but with all the Government
Regulations, monitoring of the banks because of impostors 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 Government and bank rules and I
must follow Them."
Obama: "I am urging you please to cash this check."
Cashier: "Look, this is 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 lobby into a cup.
With that shot we knew him To be Tiger Woods and we cashed his check.
"Another time, Andre Agassi came in without ID. He pulled out his tennis
Racket and served an ace shot directly into the center of our bank logo
90 feet away. With that spectacular shot we cashed his check.
"So, what can you do to prove that it is you, and only you?"
Obama stood there thinking, and thinking and finally says: "Honestly,
Nothing comes to mind. I can't think of a single thing I can do."
Cashier: "Will that be large or small bills, Mr. President?"
