Connie B Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Colin was bragging to his boss one day, "You know,I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone, anyone&I know them. "Tired of his boasting,his boss called his bluff, "OK, Colin, how about Tom Cruise?" "Sure yes,Tom & I are old friends, & I can prove it. "So Colin & his boss fly out to Hollywood & knock on Tom Cruise's door, & sure enough,Tom Cruise shouts, "Colin! Great to see you! You & your friend come right in & join me for lunch!" Although impressed,Colin's boss is still skeptical. After they leave Cruise's house, he tells Colin that he thinks Colin's knowing Cruise was just lucky. "No, no, just name! anyone else, "Colin says." President Bush," his boss quickly retorts."Yes," Colin says," I know him,let's fly out to Washington." And off they go. At the White House,Bush spots Colin on the tour & motions him & his boss over,saying, "Colin, what a surprise,I was just on my way to a meeting, but you & your friend come on in & let's have a cup of coffee first & 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 Colin, who again implores him to name anyone else. "The Pope," his boss replies. "Sure!" says Colin. "My folks are from Poland, & I've known the Pope a long time. "So off they fly to Rome. Colin & his boss are assembled with the masses in Vatican Square when Colin 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 & I'll come out on the balcony with the Pope. "And he disappears into the crowd headed toward the Vatican. Sure enough, half an hr later Colin emerges with the Pope on the balcony but by the time Colin returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart attack & is surrounded by paramedics. Working his way to his boss' side, Colin asks him, "What happened?" His boss looks up & says, "I was doing fine until you & the Pope came out on the balcony, & the man next to me said, "Who the hell is that on the balcony with Colin?"
