an oldy but a goody!

Dave was bragging to his boss one day, "You know, I know everyone
> there is to know. Just name someone, anyone, and I know them." Tired

> of his boasting, his boss called his bluff, "OK, Dave, how about Tom

> Cruise?" "No dramas boss, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove

> it." So Dave and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom

> Cruise's door and Tom Cruise shouts, "Dave! What's happening?!? Great

> to see you! Come on in for a beer! Although impressed, Dave's boss is

> still sceptical. After they leave Cruise's house, he tells Dave that

> he thinks him knowing Cruise was just >lucky. "No, no, just name

> anyone else," Dave says. "President Bush," his boss quickly retorts.

> "Yup," Dave says, "Old buddies, let's fly out to Washington." And off

> they go. At the White House, Bush spots Dave on the tour and motions

> him and his boss over, saying, "Dave, what a surprise, I was just on

> my way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and let's have


> a cup of coffee first and catch up." Well, the boss is very shaken by

> now but still not totally convinced. After they leave the White House

> grounds he expresses his doubts to Dave, who again implores him to

> name anyone else. "The pope," his boss replies. "Sure!" says Dave. "My


> people are from Poland, and I've known the Pope for years." So off

> they fly to Rome. Dave and his boss are assembled with the masses in

> Vatican Square when Dave says, "This will never work. I can't catch

> the Pope's eye among all these people. Tell you what, I know all the

> guards so let me just go upstairs and I'll come out on the balcony

> with the pope." And he disappears into the crowd headed toward the

> Vatican. Sure enough, half an hour later Dave emerges with the pope on


> the balcony, but by the time Dave returns, he finds that his boss has

> had a heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics. Making his way to

> his boss' side, Dave asks him, "What happened?" His boss looks up and

> says, " It was the final straw - you and the Pope came out on the

> balcony and the man next to me said, "Who the f **k's that on the

> balcony with Dave?"
