BILL Gates and Ned walk into a fast food joint one afternoon to get lunch. Bill orders and the cashier gives him his meal. Ned goes up to order and the cashier greets him with "Hello Ned! How are you? Hey everybody! Ned’s here!" Everybody in the restaurant comes up and says hello to Ned.

"Ned, you’re pretty popular!" says Bill. "I’m the most popular man in the world," says Ned. "Now Ned," says Bill, your pretty popular but you’re not the most popular man in the world." "Oh yeah," Ned replies, "I’ll bet you a thousand dollars that I’m friends with anybody you can name!" "That so?" answers Bill, "How about the president of the USA?" "Let’s go!" says Ned.

The two fly to Washington and knock on the front door of the White House. The president answers, "Ned! How are you doing? I haven’t seen you in ages!"

"That was luck!" says Bill, "Two thousand dollars if the Queen of England is friends with you!" "Let’s go!" says Ned.

The two fly to Buckingham Palace and, sure enough, are greeted by the Queen. ‘’Hello Ned my boy! What have you been up to these days?" Frustrated, Bill says, "Double or nothing, you don’t know the Pope!" "Let’s go!" says Ned. When they get to the Vatican, Ned tells Bill to wait outside while he appears with Pope in arms at the balcony. Ned looks down from the balcony and sees Bill passed out on the ground. He rushes down and wakes him up.

"Bill! Bill! Wake up! You didn’t faint when I knew the President! You didn’t faint when I knew the Queen!"

"I could almost take it that you knew the Pope," says Bill. "But I just couldn’t take it when the guy next to me tapped me on the shoulder and said "Who’s that up there with Ned?"
