An oldie I like, and it's MY list..........
>
> Bubba, an airline mechanic, 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, Bubba how about Tom
> Cruise?" "You bet , 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 Bush",his boss quickly
> retorts. "Yep", Bubba says, "I
> know him, let's fly out to Washington" and off they
> go. At the White House,
> Bush spots Bubba on the tour and motions him and his
> boss over, saying, "Bubba,
> 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
> Bubba, who again implores him to
> name anyone else.
>
> "The new Pope", his boss replies. "Sure!" says
> Bubba. "I've known the Pope 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
> 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 St.
> Peter's. Sure enough, half an
> hour later Bubba emerges with the Pope on the
> balcony. But by the time Bubba
> returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart
> attack and is surrounded by
> paramedics. Working his way to his boss's 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 Japanese tourist next to me
> asked,
>
> "Who's that on the balcony with Bubba?"
