Making light of an advertisement that offered him a job as a store greeter, former President George W. Bush stopped by a Dallas hardware store Saturday morning and jokingly inquired about the position.
The visit to Elliott's Hardware on Maple Avenue, which store officials insisted was a surprise, drew the attention of about 100 customers, many of whom were attending seminars on organic gardening.
Bush, who moved into his Preston Hollow home a day earlier, walked in around 11 a.m. with an entourage of Secret Service agents. Wearing a light jacket emblazoned with the presidential seal, Bush signed autographs and posed for photos with customers and store personnel.
"Everyone was, of course, abuzz," said Andrea Bond, Elliott's marketing staffer.
"Everyone started calling people on their cellphones. It was just amazing."
Bush spokesman Rob Saliterman said the former president was "touched" by the warm response he got.

Sick, stay in Dallas xprez, you won't have that kind of reception in say , New Orleans...or Detroit.
That's the job he should have had for the last 8 years. He's a natural for it.
