Consulta las soluciones JOKE of the month (Chiste del mes) Colin was bragging to his boss one day, "You know, I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone, anyone, and I know them." His boss said, "OK, Colin, how about Tom Cruise?" Colin replied "Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it." So Colin and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise's door and Tom Cruise shouts, "Colin! What's happening? Great to see you! Come on in for a beer! Although impressed, Colin's boss is still skeptical. After they leave Cruise's house, he tells Colin that he thinks that knowing Cruise was just lucky. "No, no, just name anyone else," Colin says. "OK. President Obama," his boss says. "Yes," Colin says, "Old mates, let's fly out to Washington." At the White House, Obama notices Colin from inside his car, calls him and his boss over, saying, "Colin, what a surprise, I was just on my way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and let's have a cup of coffee first and catch up." The boss is very surprised, but still not totally convinced. Colin challenges him to name anyone else. "The Pope," his boss replies. "Sure!" says Colin. "My Parents are from Poland, and I've known the Pope a long time." So off they fly to Rome. Colin and his boss are standing with all the people in St Peter's Square when Colin says, "This is impossible. The Pope cant see me among all these people. Listen, I know all the guards so let me just go upstairs and I'll come out on the balcony with the Pope." And he disappears into the crowd walking in the direction of the Vatican. Half an hour later Colin appears with the Pope on the balcony. But by the time Colin returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart attack and is lying on the ground surrounded by paramedics. Colin moves closer to his boss and asks, "What happened?" His boss looks up and says, "I was fine until you and the Pope came out on the balcony and the man next to me said: "Who the hell's that on the balcony with Colin?".

Lee e interpreta sta corta historia y resuelve el misterio. The Case of the Gold Digger Detective Columbo had just ordered a drink at the bar in the Tahoe motel when a young man with sun-bleached golden hair and tanned cheeks sat on the stool beside him. After ordering a scotch and water, the sunburned man nodded toward the gaming tables. "My name is

John Elton," he said genially. "It's great to be back in civilization and hear people and money talking out loud." Columbo introduced himself. "I guess you've been out in the desert?" "Yeah, I got back yesterday," said John Elton. "Washed the dust out of my ears, had a barber shave off my seven months of whiskers and trim my hair. Then I bought a whole wardrobe on credit. All I had to do was show my assay report. Boy am I going to celebrate." "You found gold?," inquired Columbo. "Yes sir. Hit the big load." John Elton stroked his bronzed chin thoughtfully; then in a low voice he said, "if I can find a backer, I'll take enough out of those hills to buy ten pleasure palaces like this one. Of course, I'm not trying to interest you. But, if you know someone who'd like to get in on a sure thing, let me know. I'm staying in room 510. Can't give out the details here, you understand." "I understand," said Columbo, "that you'd better improve your story if you want to sucker someone into a deal that's worthless." How did Columbo know the story was fictitious?
