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?"
Dave replied "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 happenin? 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 folks are from Poland, and I've known the Pope a
long time."
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.
Working his way to his boss' side, Dave 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 the f*#k's that on the balcony with Dave?"
Yep, everyone knows Dave. Unless you're a stoner. Excellent blast from the past GT.
