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 skeptical. 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 Obama," his boss
quickly retorts.
"Yup," Dave says, "Old
buddies, let's fly out to Washington," and off they go.
At the White House, Obama 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 beer 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.
"Pope Francis," his boss
replies.
"Sure!" says Dave.
"I've known the Pope for years." So off they fly to Rome.
Dave and his boss are assembled with
the masses at the Vatican's St. Peter's 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." He disappears into the crowd headed towards 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 to the balcony and the man
next to me said, 'Who the frakk is that on the balcony with Dave?'
