10 Downing St

One sunny day in May, 2010 an old man approached the door of 10 Downing Street from across the street where he’d been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the policeman standing guard and said, “I’d like to go in and meet with Mr Brown” The policeman looked at the man and said, “Sir, Mr. Brown is no longer the Prime Minister and no longer resides here.”
The old man said, “Okay”, and walked away.

The following day, the same man approached the door of 10 Downing Street and said to the same policeman,”I’d like to go in and meet with Mr Brown.” The policeman again told the man, “Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Brown is no longer Prime minister and no longer resides here.” The man thanked him and, again, just walked away.

The third day, the same man approached 10 Downing Street and spoke to the very same policeman, saying “I’d like to go in and meet with Mr Brown.”

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

The old man looked at the Bobby and said, “Oh, I understand alright, I just love hearing it!”

“The bobby snapped to attention, saluted, and said, “See you tomorrow, Sir!”
