“Set an honest and honorable exam p le,j ust as I did,” advised Washin g ton.

入主白宫的头一个晚上,乔治·W·布什兴奋不已。但怪事出现了。头一晚,他被乔治·华盛顿的幽灵弄醒了。布什问鬼魂:“华盛顿总统,我做什么事最能为国家效力?”
“像我一样,树立诚实正直的榜样。”华盛顿规劝。
因白宫令人激动不已,布什还是不能安然入睡。过了一阵子,托马斯·杰斐逊的幽灵在黑咕隆咚的卧室里徘徊。布什问:“汤姆,我做什么事最能为国家效劳?”
“减免赋税、精简政府。”杰斐逊答道。
布什还是睡不踏实,过了好一阵子,他又看到一个幽灵影影绰绰地进来了。
那是亚伯拉罕·林肯的鬼魂。
“艾贝,我做什么才最有益于国家?”布什问。
林肯答道:“去看戏。”(译注:林肯在福特剧院看戏时遇刺身亡)
