George W Bush has paid a jokey visit to a hardware store in Dallas, Texas, which offered him a job as a greeter.
The former US president entered the Elliott's outlet with his security detail saying "I'm looking for a job", store manager Andrea Bond said.
The owner of the Texas chain made the offer earlier this month in a letter published in a Dallas newspaper.
But despite not yet having a publisher for his memoirs, Mr Bush decided on reflection to turn the job down.
Equipped with a name tag
Mr Bush and his wife Laura moved into their new home in an expensive area of Dallas on Friday. They have kept their ranch at Crawford, Texas.

However, Bush will be the first president not to benefit from one former lifetime benefit: Secret Service protection.
"He'll be the first one to receive it for 10 years," said Malcolm Wiley, Secret Service spokesman. Congress changed the law in the 1990s so that any president elected after Jan. 1, 1997, and his or her spouse will receive the federal protection for only 10 years.
