    There were two business men sitting in a bar watching TV.  After a little
while the governor appears making a speech about something.  George (one of the
two guys) turns to his friend and pointing at the TV says, "I know him;
he's a good friend of mine."  His friend sarcastically says, "Sure you do.
And I know the Queen of England!"  George replies, "No.  I really DO know
him, and I can prove it!."  George then proceeds to lead his friend over
to the governor's house and rings the front doorbell.  The governor himself
answers the door and says, "Hi George!  Long time no see.  How's the wife and
kids?  Come on in and visit for a while!"
    About a week later, George and his friend are on business in Washington,
and once again they are sitting in a bar watching TV.  This time the President
appears on TV.  Once again, George points at the TV and says, "I know him,
he's a good friend of mine."  His friend says, "Ok so you knew the governor.
But don't try to tell me you know the president too!  I'm afraid I just can't
quite swallow that one."  George replies as before, "No!  I DO know the
president!  We used to golf together.  Here I'll prove it to you."  George
proceeds to take his friend over to the capitol where they run into the
president.  The president says, "Hi george!  How are you doing?  Hows the
old golfing arm?  Say do you have some free time?  Maybe we could eat lunch
together..."
    About two weeks later, George and his friend are on business in Rome.
While walking through the streets they pass the Pope speaking to the
multitude and George says, "Hey there's the pope!  I haven't seen him in
a LONG time.  Can you wait a minute while I run up and say hello?"  George
then runs up and sure enough, he and the pope speak together as old friends.
When George returns, he finds his friend passed out on the floor.  As he
slowly regains conscienceness, George asks him what happened.  His friend
replies, "Well it was bad enough that you knew the Pope, But I just couldn't
take it when the man next to me asked who that guy was standing next to
George!"
