Gary Smith

Gary Smith is employed at a small factory of a huge multinational corporation in the small town of Sandberg near LA. One day, the CEO decides to visit Gary's factory. Huge preparations are made to properly welcome the CEO. At one point, the CEO asks the following question.

'Hey, but where is Gary Smith?'

Everyone is taken by surprise, but they quickly go get Gary from the production lines of the factory.

'Hey Gary, good to see you,' says the CEO. 'Look, tonight there's this party at the hotel in LA, I'll send a limousine to go get you!'

The next morning, Gary is late for work. His boss comes to inquire.

'Gary, why are you so late?'

'Well y'know boss, we got a bit drunk with the CEO at the party yesterday, I'm a bit hungover, t'was hard to get up in the morning.'

The boss looks at him rather irritated, but prefers to let it pass. Two weeks later, the POTUS himself decides to visit the factory. Again, huge preparations are made to properly welcome the President.

'Hey, but where is Gary Smith?' asks the President once he gets there.

Again, people are extremely surprised, but they go get Gary.

'Hey Gary! Mate, how are you? I'm having a party in LA tonight, I'll send a helicopter to go get you!'

The next morning, Gary is late for work again. His boss is pretty angry. After all, Gary got drunk with the President himself the previous night... But he can't control himself and asks:

'Gary, how the f*ck do you know so many influential people?'

Gary just shrugs.

'Well y'know, I even know the Pope.'

His boss goes pale, but doesn't believe him. Gary, to prove his claim, gets on a plane with his boss and they fly directly to Rome. At the Vatican, they stop right in front of St Peter's Basilica.

'I'll go in, and in five minutes I'll wave at you with the Pope from the balcony, alright?'

Five minutes pass. The boss looks up at the balcony and to his amazement Gary is really standing there next to the Pope. The boss simply faints. A Japanese group of tourists try to reanimate him. Once the boss wakes up, the Japanese tourists ask:

'What happened to you?'

The boss weakly waves towards the balcony.

'Look... there...'

The Japanese look up and one of them suddenly asks:

'Heeeey... who's that old white-clothed man next to Gary?'
