Patel Knows Everyone...!

Suresh 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 ?”
