Secret code

SECRET CODE
After the president has been in office for 6 months it is
customary for the last president to send a note of congratulations to
the new one. So, yesterday, when the note came from Bush to Obama, the
president was somewhat troubled because it was written in code and all
it said was:
370H-SSV-0773H
This troubled him as he had always heard from his peers how
former president Bush was perceived to have been scholarly challenged.
So he took the note to his wife. She was unable to decipher it. They
called in the VP, and he was unable to decode the message. They called
in the chief of staff and the head of the Secret Service detail and they
were unable to determine the meaning of the note. Next he called in the
head of the Senate and Speaker of the House. They both were mystified by
the meaning of the coded message.
Now there was complete panic in the oval office. They called all
of their contacts in the media and sent copies of the note to all of
them, and not one was able to come up with an answer. A special
emergency
meeting was called by the staff. All branches of the military, counter
intelligence, CIA, and FBI, were called in, and the best minds were
unable crack the code.
After a sleepless night, a now humbled President picked up the
phone and called the former president and asked him the meaning of the
note.
Bush chuckled and replied: "You're holding it upside down!"
