Gatiep 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, Gatiepie, how
about Tom Cruise?"
Gatiep replied "Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it."
So Gatiep and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise's
door and Tom Cruise shouts, " Gatiepie! What's happenin?!? Great to
see
you! Come on in for a beer!
lthough impressed, Gatiep`s boss is still sceptical.
After they leave Cruise's house, he tells Gatiep that he thinks him
knowing Cruise was just lucky.
"No, no, just name anyone else," Gatiep says. "President Bush," his
boss
quickly retorts. "Yup," Gatiepsays, "Old buddies, let's fly out to
Washington."
nd off they go. At the White House, Bush spots Gatiep on the tour and
motions him and his boss over, saying, " Gatiepie, 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
Gatiep, who again implores him to name anyone else.
"The pope," his boss replies. "Sure!" says Gatiep. "My folks are from
Poland, and I've known the Pope a long time."
So off they fly to Rome. Gatiepie and his boss are assembled with the
masses in Vatican Square when Gatiep 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 Gatiep emerges with the Pope on the balcony
but by the time Gatiep returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart
attack and is surrounded by paramedics.
Working his way to his boss' side, Gatiep 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@ck is
that on the balcony with Gatiepie?
