know. Just name someone, anyone, and I know him."
Tired of Bubba's boasting, his boss called his bluff, "OK, Bubba, how about the
famous film actor Tom Cruise?"
"Sure, yes, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it."
So Bubba and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise's door, and
sure enough, Tom Cruise, shouts, "Bubba! Great to see you! You and your friend
come right in and join me for lunch!" Although impressed, Bubba's boss is still
skeptical. After they leave Cruise's house, he tells Bubba that he thinks
Bubba's knowing Cruise was just lucky.
"No, no, just name anyone else," Bubba says.
"President Clinton," his boss quickly retorts.
"Yes", Bubba says, "I know him, let's fly to Washington." And off they go.
At the White House, Clinton spots Bubba on the tour and motions him and his
boss over, saying, "Bubba, what a surprise to see you! I was just on my way
to a meeting, but you and your friend come 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 Bubba, who again
implores him to name anyone else.
"The Pope," his boss replies.
"Sure!" says Bubba. "My parents are from Poland, and I've known the Pope for a
long time."
So off they fly, to Rome. Bubba and his boss are assembled with the masses in
Vatican Square when Bubba 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 here, 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, Bubba emerges on the balcony with the Pope. But
by the time Bubba returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart attack and is
surrounded by paramedical personnel.
Working his way to his boss' side, Bubba asks him, "What happened?"
His boss looks up and says, "I was doing fine until you and the Pope came out on
the balcony and the man next to me said, "Who's that on the balcony with Bubba?"
