Muffin Snuffler, the White House cleaner, is polishing the floor in the Oval Office one day, when he looks up at George Washington’s portrait and sees the lips moving.

Shocked and a little frightened, Muffin edges closer to the portrait and listens to America’s hero speak.

“Bring me a horse!” commands Washington. “I am going to put this country in order!”

Muffin races out of the office and bumps  straight into President George Bush. “Mr President, sir,” he screams, “George Washington’s portrait just spoke to me!”

“Don’t be an idiot! ” snaps Bush. “Pictures don’t talk!” And he walks into
the Oval Office and over to the painting.

But before he reaches it, George Washington speaks again, ” Hey, Muffin!” shouts Washington, “I told you to bring me a horse — not a donkey! “
