The Pope visits Alaska
The Pope took a couple of days off to visit the mountains
of Alaska for some sight-seeing. He was cruising along the
campground in the Pope mobile when there was a frantic
commotion just at the edge of the woods. A helpless
Democrat, wearing sandals, shorts, a "Save the Whales" hat,
and a "To Hell with Bush" T-shirt, was screaming while
struggling frantically, thrashing around trying to free
himself from the grasp of a 10 foot grizzly.
As the Pope watched horrified, a group of Republican
loggers came racing up. One quickly fired a .44 magnum into
the bear's chest... The other two reached up and pulled the
bleeding, semiconscious Democrat from the bear's grasp.
Then using long clubs, the three loggers finished off the
bear and two of them threw it onto the bed of their truck
while the other tenderly placed the injured Democrat in the
back seat.
As they prepared to leave, the Pope summoned them to come
over. "I give you my blessing for your brave actions!" he
told them. "I heard there was a bitter hatred between
Republican loggers and Democratic Environmental activists
but now I've seen with my own eyes that this is not true."
As the Pope drove off, one of the loggers asked his buddies
"Who was that guy?" "It was the Pope," another replied.
"He's in direct contact with heaven and has access to all
wisdom." "Well," the logger said, "he may have access to
all wisdom but he sure doesn't know anything about bear
hunting! By the way, is the bait holding up, or do we need
to go back to Massachusetts and snatch another one?"
