Rome
Tuesday my wife and I go on a citytrip to Rome
and that is no joke !
Of course we want to go see the Vatican
and we'll make sure to get there by lunchtime
why?
When I was in high school an inspector came in our class,
when he saw me he came straight to me and said

the teacher was astonished that this inspector knew me.
A few months later the Belgian King came to our school.
He too came straight to me “Hey Frank, what's up?”
I said “Hi Baudouin, how are you, and how's the Queen?”
Afterwards I was called to the school principal and he asked me how I came to know all these important people and even more how they all came to know me.
I said I didn't know, it just happened to be that way and that I even knew the Pope of Rome.
“No, he replied, that's impossible, I don't believe that, listen,
next year we have this schooltrip to Rome and you and I are going to see whether or not this story is true.
The next year, we did go to Rome and the principal and I went to the Vatican.
The guards stopped us, there was no audience,
I said tell the Pope Frank is here.
The guard came back in a minute and asked me in.
The school principal had to stay down in Saint Peters Square.
The Pope was on the terrace giving his Papal Blessing and I joined him.
I could see our principal standing there in the crowd.
All of a sudden he fell down.
I rushed downstairs and helped him up.
“What's the matter” I asked
“Oh, he replied, I was standing next to a Chinese guy,
and you know what he asked me ?
“Who's that man standing next to Frank?” ...
