Patel Bhai…

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 ?
