This made me laugh out-loud

[Connie B]

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?"
