This guy Bob says to his friend at dinner, I know more people than you would believe... Bono happened to be in the bar so Bob excuses himself and meets Bono in the restroom and asks a favor of him to come by the table and pretend he knows him because it would mean alot to his son. Sure enough Bono comes over and says ""hi Bob"" to the astonishment of his friend. Next week they're eating at the same joint and Tony Bennett is singing, and once again he corners Tony in the restroom. Sure enough later Tony walks by the table and says ""hi Bob ol' buddy."" His friend is dumbstruck. The next month both Bob and his friend are on vacation in Rome, and Bob says to his friend, ""and you know, I know the Pope!"" Friend says no way and to prove it. So Bob says to just keep looking up at the balcony. Half hour later his friend sees two figures up on the balcony but is so far away he can't distinguish them. So he asks a guy with binoculars if he can see who is up on the balcony. The guy takes a look and says to him, ""well, I don't know who the guy is with the pointy hat, but the other chap is Bob!""
