The Pope went on vacation for a few days to visit the rugged mountains of
Alaska.
He was cruising along the campground in the Pope Mobile when he heard a
frantic commotion just at the edge of the woods. He found a helpless
Democrat wearing shorts, sandals, a Vote for Obama hat and a Save the
Trees shirt. The man was screaming and struggling frantically, thrashing
all about, and trying to free himself from the grasp of a 10-foot grizzly
bear.
As the Pope watched in horror, a group of Republican loggers wearing Go
Sarah shirts came racing up. One quickly fired a 44 magnum slug right into
the bear's chest. The two other men pulled the semiconscious Democrat from
the bear's grasp. Then using baseball bats, the three loggers finished off
the bear. Two of the men dragged the dead grizzly onto the bed of their
pickup truck while the other tenderly placed the injured Democrat in the
back seat.
As they began to leave, the Pope summoned all of the men over to him. "I
give you my blessing for your brave actions!" he proudly proclaimed. "I
have heard there was 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 logger asked his buddies, "Who the heck was
that guy?"
"Dude, that 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 doesn't
know squat about bear hunting! By the way, is the bait still alive or do
we need to go back to Massachusetts and get another one?"
