My wife and I were walking down the street.

My wife and I were walking down the street when she spotted the mayor of our town.
"You should go introduce yourself" she said.

I replied "I have known him for years why should I?"

"You do not know the mayor!" she exclaimed. It was then that we walked up and talked to the mayor for 10 minutes. When we walked away she said I guess you did know the mayor.

About a year later my wife and I were traveling through Washington D.C. and she said "Wouldn't it be cool if we could get a tour of the White House?"

"Let me give the president a call and arrange it"

"You do not know the President of the United States!"

"I do" and with that I called the president and arranged to have a tour. When we got to the White house the President came to the door and said "Well hello John, old friend come in and have a tour and while your here stay for dinner as well." When we left after a great dinner with the President my wife said " Well what do you know? You did know the President."

A few months after We had a trip planned to go to Europe. While walking past Buckingham Palace my wife states "I wish we could go inside and meet the Queen"

I said "Would you like to ?"

"There is no way you know the Queen of England"

"I do " and with that I walked up to the Queens Guard and asked to see the Queen. He immediately stepped aside and we walked right up the the front door and were invited in for tea by the Queen. After visiting with the queen my wife said "I cannot believe you knew the Queen but I am glad you did that was some good Tea"
After our tour of England we decided to take a trip to the Vatican and listen to the Pope speak. It was a dreadfully hot day and the Vatican was packed with people eager to hear the pope. That is when I told my wife " It is too hot down here and it is impossible to hear or see. I think I will go up and see the pope and watch from up there"

"There is no way you know the Pope, John. You go make a fool of yourself but I will stay right here and you can come and find me when you are done." With that I walked away to find the pope. As I am standing up waving next to the pope as he starts his wonderful speech, A commotion happens in the crowd and I see an ambulance pull up and my wife taken out on a stretcher. I go down after thanking the Pope for his hospitality and see my wife. I asked what happened. She replied " I could believe you knew the mayor. I was stunned that you knew the President, and in awe that you knew the Queen, but when the little boy next to me leaned over and asked "Who is that in the funny hat standing next to John?" I lost it."
