THE POPE GOES ON VACATION IN ALABAMA
THE POPE GOES ON VACATION IN ALABAMA
On a tour of Alabama, the Pope took a few days off to visit the
coast
for
some sightseeing. He was cruising along the beach in the
Pope-mobile
when
there was a frantic commotion just off shore.
A helpless man, wearing an Alabama University jersey, was
struggling
frantically to free himself from the jaws of a huge shark. As
the Pope
watched, horrified, a speedboat came racing up with three men
wearing
Auburn jerseys. One quickly fired a harpoon into the shark's
side.
The other two reached out and pulled the bleeding
semi-conscious
Alabama fan from the water. Then using heavy clubs the three
heroes beat the shark
to death and hauled it into the boat.
Immediately the Pope shouted and summoned them to the beach. "I
give
you my
blessing for your brave actions," he told the heroes. "Even in
Italy
I Have heard of the bitter hatred between your two colleges, but
I have now
seen with my own eyes it is not the truth".
As the Pope drove off the harpooner asked his buddies "Who was
that?"
"It was the Pope," one replied. "He is in direct contact with
God and is
considered very wise".
"Well," the harpooner said, "he may have great wisdom and
Direct contact with God, but he doesn't know anything about
shark fishing. . . . How
is the bait holding up?"
