Patel is a Gujju-bhai. Patel 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, Patel how about
Tom Cruise?" "Sure, yes, Tom and I are old friends,
and I can prove it."
So Patel and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock
on Tom Cruise's door,
and sure enough, Tom Cruise shouts, "Patel! Great to
see you!
You and your friend come right in and join me for
lunch!" Although
impressed, Patel's boss is still skeptical.
After they leave Cruise's house, he tells Patel that
he thinks Patel's
knowing Cruise was just lucky. "No, no, just name
anyone else," Patel
says."President Clinton," his boss quickly retorts.
"Yes," Patel says, "I know him, let's fly out to
Washington." And off they
go. At the White House, Clinton spots Patel on the
tour and motions him
and his boss over, saying, "Patel , 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 much shaken by now, but still not
totally convinced.
After they leave the White House grounds, he expresses
his doubts to Patel
who again implores him to name anyone else.
"The Pope," his boss replies. "Sure!" says Patel . "My
folks are from
Poland, and I've known the Pope a long time."
So off they fly to Rome. Patel and his boss are
assembled with the masses
in Vatican Square when Patel 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 Patel emerges with the
Pope on the
balcony. But by the time Patel returns, he finds that
his boss has had a
heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics.
Working his way to his boss' side, Patel 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 Patel ?"
😆
