Knowing people in high places

[LONDONER]

David Cameron visits a steel factory. To the boss's surprise, the Prime Minister greets an employee, Morton, with a warm hug. The same thing happens when Barack Obama visits, and again during Vladimir Putin's tour. Unimpressed, the boss says to Morton, "I bet you don't know the pope."
Morton shrugs. "We play golf together."
The gauntlet has been tossed, and the boss pays their way to the Vatican. During the Benediction, Morton slips away. Sure enough, he reappears—side by side with the pope. Two Chinese tourists tap the boss on the shoulder and ask, "Who's the guy in white standing with Morton?"

If I need to explain the joke then sorry, you have no sense of humour.

not understanding one joke doesn't mean he doesn't have a sense of humor .

not understanding one joke doesn't mean he doesn't have a sense of humor .

In that case, what would you put it down to?

that he didn't understand this one particular joke.

that he didn't understand this one particular joke.

I don't think that it's that difficult.

i'm sure it's not , but someone not understanding it doesn't in any way at all mean they don't have a sense of humor .

Not your best joke, but it was cute!

I definitely didnt see the punchline coming!!

Well thank you to my defenders.

Let me preface by saying I love most of your jokes, just didn't really get why some dude being better known than the pope is funny.

Just me.
