One sunny day in January, 2011 an old man approached the Prime Ministers Lodge in Canberra where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to Commonwealth security standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with the Prime Minister Kevin Rudd."

The Guard looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr. Rudd is no longer Prime Minister and no longer resides here."

The old man said, "Okay", and walked away.

The following day, the same man approached the Lodge "I would like to go in and meet with the Prime Minister Kevin Rudd."

The Guard again told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr.Kevin Rudd is no longer the Prime Minister and no longer resides here."

The man thanked him and, again, just walked away.
The third day, the same man approached the Lodge and spoke to the very same Guard saying, "I would like to go in and meet with Prime Minister Kevin Rudd"

The Guard, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Rudd I've told you already that Mr.Rudd is no longer Prime Minister and no longer resides here. Don't you understand?"

The old man looked at the Guard and said, "Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it."

The Guard snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "See you tomorrow, Sir." :pound:
