Again, George W asked, a little louder this time, "Excuse me, sir, but aren't you Moses?"
Again the old man stared at the ceiling, motionless, without a word. George W tried a third time, louder yet. "Excuse me sir, aren't you Moses?"

To which the old man, still staring at the ceiling finally replied, "I can hear you, and yes, I am Moses, but the last time I spoke to a BUSH I spent 40 years wandering in the wilderness."
