MONTHLY JOKE
The Bored Man
Ralph enters a bar and is looking very depressed. His friend asks, “Why
the long face, Ralph?”
"Oh, I'm just bored. I know every person in the entire world, and
there's just nothing left to challenge me."
Do you know Paul McCartney?" Ralph says, "Sure, Paul's an old friend
of mine and he goes over to a phone, dials a number and his friend hears
a British accent saying, "Hey Ralph, how ya doing?"
When Ralph hangs up, his friend isn’t really sure it was Paul McCartney
and asks if he knows the president. Ralph says, "Sure, we go way
back." This time he lets him listen in as he calls a private number. It
sounds like the president on the other end of the line, and they go into
a big discussion of the current economic scene, and Ralph offers a few
suggestions. Drawing the conversation to a close, Ralph wishes him well
and hangs up.
His friend is dumbfounded at this point. There must be someone you don't
know and says how about the Pope. Do you know the Pope?
Ralph claims to know him and decides to fly his friend to the Vatican
for positive proof.
They arrive at the Vatican; Ralph suggests his friend wait out in the
Papal square until he has cleared things with the Pope. The friend is
standing in the courtyard, when who walks out onto the balcony arm in
arm with the Pope, but Ralph.
Ralph looks down and sees his friend collapsing. Ralph runs down to
help his friend. "What happened to you? Couldn't you accept the fact I
really do know the Pope?"
"Well, I'd begun to accept that possibility. But what really took my
breath away was some stranger standing next to me who said, 'Who's that
guy standing there next to Ralph?'"
