The Pope took a couple of days off to visit the
mountains of Alaska for some sight-seeing. He was cruising
along a 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
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 don't know nothin' about bear hunting! By the way, is the bait holding
up, or do we need to go back to the city and snatch another one?"
