----------------------------------------
Ole was bragging to his boss one day, "You know boss, I know everyone
dere
is to know. Jus name someone, and I know dem."

Tired of his boasting, his boss called his bluff, OK Ole, how about Tom
Cruise?"

"Ya, sure, me and Tom are old friends, an 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, jus name anyone else," Ole says. "President Bush." his boss
quickly
retorts. "Yes," Ole says, "I know him, let's fly out to Washington."

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. 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."

So off they fly to Rome. Ole and his boss are assembled with the masses
in
Vatican Square when Ole says, "This vill never vork. I can't catch the
Pope's eye among all dees people. Tell you vat, I know all the guards so
let
me jus go up de stairs and I'll come out on the balcony with da 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,
"Vat happened?"

His boss looks up and says, "I was doing just 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?"
