You Think You Know The Cream?
When Lars first met Bubba, he claimed to know everyone in the world. Bubba's friend, Lars, was a bit skeptical about this and challenged him on it one day. "I'll bet you don't know everyone in the world! I bet you don't know Tom Cruise!" "Of course I know Tom," Bubba replied. "Look, I'll tell you what. He's in Memphis making a new movie called 'The Firm' - he was telling me about it last week. We'll fly up there in the morning and I'll introduce you to him." So, Bubba and Lars flew to Memphis the next day and caught a cab to the current location where they were shooting scenes for the movie. As they approached the set, members of the crew waved and whispered greetings to Bubba, calling him by name. Amazingly, everyone on this set seemed to know him. Soon, the director yelled "CUT!" and Bubba called out to Tom Cruise, who smiled and came over. "Bubba, it's good to see youÏ How've you been?" "Great, Tom. Look, I'd like you to meet my friend, Lars. Lars, this is Tom Cruise." Tom, Lars, and Bubba chatted for a while, interrupted occasionally as folks came by to greet Bubba. That evening the three of them went out to dinner and had a great evening. Later, at the hotel, Bubba asked, "Well, are you satisfied now?" Lars replied, "Well, it's true that you know Tom Cruise, but I still don't believe you know everyone in the world. I bet you don't know President Clinton." Bubba said, "Oh, Bill and I go way back. OK, I'll take you to meet the president."
So, the next day they flew to Washington. They went to the White House where they were greeted by all the staff and directed to the Oval Office. They entered the office, and President Clinton immediately rose from his desk and greeted Bubba, asking who his friend was. Bubba introduced Lars to the president and they had a nice chat for a while. That evening at the hotel, Bubba asked again if Lars was now convinced that he knew everyone in the world. "Well, you knew Tom Cruise and Bill Clinton, but I still don't believe you know everyone in the world," Lars replied. "OK, Lars, this is it," Bubba answered, rolling his eyes. "One more person - name one more person. I'll take you to meet him or her and then that's it. If you don't believe me after that, well, that's just tough." "OK," Lars said, "I bet you don't know the Pope." "As a matter of fact, I do," replied Bubba. So, they flew to Rome and went to the Vatican. They got as far as the Pope's main assistant who cheerfully greeted Bubba. The assistant explained that the Pope was about to address the masses from his balcony and that they could have an audience with him immediately after the address. Bubba would be permitted to join the Pope on the balcony, but, for security reasons, since they didn't know Lars, he would have to view the address with the crowd in the square. So, Lars was led down to the square and Bubba was taken into the Pope's chambers. Shortly, as someone was making an introductory speech, Bubba and the Pope appeared on the balcony. About 15 seconds later, they heard a hideous scream come from the square. Bubba rushed to the edge of the balcony and looked down to see Lars lying on the ground. He ran for the steps and out to the square to see what was wrong. As he approached, he saw that Lars was reviving from an apparent faint. "Lars, Lars, are you alright?" Bubba asked. "What happened to you, Lars? Why did you scream?" To which Lars, replied, "Well, I could take it when you knew Tom Cruise, and I could take it when you knew Bill Clinton. But I just couldn't take it when this guy next to me looks up and says, "Hey, who's that up there standing next to Bubba?"
