English Original
George W. Bush noticed a man in an airport lobby. The man wore a long white robe, had a long white beard and hair, held a staff, and carried stone tablets under his arm.
Bush approached him and asked, "Aren't you Moses?"
The man ignored him, staring at the ceiling.
Bush moved into his line of sight and asked again, "Hey there! Aren't you Moses?"
The man continued to peruse the ceiling.
Bush tugged at the man's sleeve and asked once more, "HEY THERE! Aren't you Moses???"
The man finally responded irritably, "Yes, I am."
Bush, now peeved, asked, "Why the cold shoulder?"
Moses replied, "The last time a bush spoke to me, I ended up spending forty years in the wilderness."

乔治·W·布什在机场大厅注意到一个男人。他身穿飘逸的白色长袍，留着长长的白色胡须和头发，手持一根手杖，腋下夹着几块石板。
布什走上前去问道：“你不是摩西吗？”
男人没有理他，盯着天花板。
布什走到他正前方，再次问道：“嘿！你不是摩西吗？”
男人继续仔细打量着天花板。
布什拉了拉男人的袖子，又一次问道：“嘿！你不是摩西吗？？？”
男人终于不耐烦地回答：“是的，我是。”
布什此时有些恼火，问道：“为什么这么冷淡？”
摩西回答说：“上一次一丛灌木对我说话，结果我在荒野里待了四十年。”
