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."

Did you really write that joke? Good one..Dave Letterman would pay good money for it!
Nope, I wish I could say that I did write it, but I didn't. I got this in an email. I should have mentioned that before!
