There was a man named Kent Larson.  Kent claimed he knew
EVERYONE in the whole world!!!

Recently Kent got a new job.  Kent says to his new boss, "Boss, I know
everyone in the whole world!" His boss doesn't  believe him, so he says
"No you do not know everyone in the whole world" but Kent says "Yes I
do!" so Kent's boss says "Well prove it!" then Kent says "Pick
someone... and I know them!"

Well Kent's boss thinks for a minute and then comes up with a name. "Tom

Selleck! I bet you don't know Tom Selleck!" Kent says "Tom Selleck! Tom
and I were in boy scouts together when we were kids!" but Kent's boss
says "No you weren't!" then Kent says "Yes we were!" so they fly to
Hollywood and drive up to Tom Selleck's house.  Kent knocks on the door
and Tom Selleck answers and Kent goes "Tom!!!" and Tom goes "Kent!" and
they hug and catch up for 30 minutes and Kent's boss can't believe it.

But then he thinks "Well that could happen, it's just one person," so he

tells Kent and Kent says "OK, pick somebody else!" This time Kent's
boss has someone in mind! "The president, Bill Clinton! You don't know
President Bill Clinton!" but Kent says "Oh yes I do! Bill and I were on
debate team together in college!" Kent's boss says "No you weren't!" and

Kent says "Yes we were!" so they fly to Washington and they catch with
the President at a press conference. They work their way through the
crowd until Kent gets close enough to catch Clinton's eye and waves
"Bill!" and the President waves "Kent!" and after the press conference
they hug and catch up for 30 minutes and Kent's boss is stunned-- he
can't believe it.

But then he thinks "Well that's just two people in one country-- that
doesn't mean he knows everyone in the whole world!" so he tells Kent and

Kent says "OK, pick someone out of the world spectrum and I know them!"
And Kent's boss knows just who to pick so he says "The President of the
Mormon Church!  You do not know the Prophet!" and Kent says
"Hinckley?...
Heck, he BAPTIZED me!" and Kent's boss says "No he didn't!" and Kent
says "Yes he did!" so they fly to Salt Lake City where the President
Hinckley
is addressing the Saints in the Tabernacle in a session of General
Conference.

After the meeting, they work their way through the crowd-- without much
luck-- so Kent says "Boss, were never gonna get there together through
all these people so I tell you what--You wait outside by the VIP door
and
I'll work my way over to the Prophet.   When I get close to him, I'll
give
you a sign that shows you I know Gordon!" and he leaves.

Well Kent's boss waits and waits and waits and just when he's about to
give up, he sees the Prophet emerges from a vip door close to a waiting
limousine.  Right there beside him is Kent!  Shortly afterwards, Kent
shakes
Hinckley's hand before he disappears into the car.   At that point,
Kent's
boss passes out.

Kent comes back and finds his boss passed out and he fans him and says
"Boss! Boss! Wake up!" and when his boss comes to, he asks "Boss, what
happened?"

Kent's boss looks at Kent and says "OK, I can see Tom Selleck. I can
see Bill Clinton... heck, I can even take the President of the Mormon
Church!  But when somebody standing next to me asks "Who's that over
there with Kent?" that's a little more than I can take!"
