A couple of good ones from George Bush Sr. and Bill Clinton.
They've had an interesting relationship since Dubya asked them to work together on various humanitarian causes. One story I liked was when they were on plane that had only one bed. Clinton deferred to the elder statesman and slept on the floor, while Bush Sr. sacked out.
Here's the BBC, quoting Bush Sr. back in 2005. Dubya also made mention of it later.
"He decided ahead of time that we want President Bush to have the front room, which was heaven for me, because if I don't stretch out, lie flat, I really hurt my body these days ... [and] he was going to have the other room," he said.
Mr Clinton could have switched places with him and spent half the night on the bed but did not, he said, adding that the next morning he found the 58-year-old sound asleep on the floor.
"That was a very courteous thing," Mr Bush said, "very thoughtful, and that meant a great deal to me."
