Bubba 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 The Pope", his boss replies. "Sure!" says
Bubba. "My folks are from Poland, and 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 the Vatican. 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' 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 man next to me said, "Who's
that on the balcony with Bubba?" |
