Ole 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, Ole how about
>Tom Cruise?" "Sure, yes, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove
>it."
>So Ole and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise's door,
>and  sure enough, Tom Cruise, shouts, "Ole! Great to see you! You and
>your friend come right in and join me for lunch!"
>Although impressed, Ole's boss is still  skeptical.  After they
>leave Cruise's house, he tells Ole that he thinks Ole's knowing Cruise
>was just lucky.
>"No, no, just name anyone else," Ole says.  "President Bush," his boss
>quickly retorts.
>"Yes," Ole says, "I know him." His boss retorts "if you can prove that
>you know him I'll fly out to Washington to see him."
>And off they go. At the White House, Bush spots Ole on the tour and
>motions him and his boss over, saying, "Ole, 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
>Ole, who again implores him to name anyone else.
>  "The Pope," his boss replies. "Sure!" says Ole. "I've known the Pope
>a long time." Again the unconvinced boss flies them off to Rome.
>Ole and his boss are assembled with the masses  in Vatican Square when
>Ole 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 Ole emerges with the Pope on the balcony.
>But by the time Ole returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart
>attack and is surrounded by paramedics. Working his way to his boss's
>side, Ole 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 Ole?'
