In the Capitol . . .

A tourist climbed out of his car in downtown Washington, D.C.

He said to a man standing near the curb, "Listen, I'm going
to be only a couple of minutes. Would you watch my car while
I run into this store?"

"What?" the man huffed. "Do you realize that I am a member of
the United States Senate?"

"Well no," the tourist said, "I didn't realize that. But
listen, I'm really in a bind so I'm going to have to trust
you anyway..."
