On a tour of Alaska, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the
mountains for some sight seeing. He was cruising along the campground in
the Popemobile when there was a frantic commotion just at the edge of
the woods. A helpless Democrat, wearing sandals, shorts, a "Save the
Whales"
T-shirt and a Tree Hugger Hat, was struggling frantically, thrashing
around trying to free himself from the jaws of a 10 foot grizzly.
As the Pope watched horrified, a group of Republican loggers came
racing up. One quickly fired a 338 magnum into the bear's chest. The
other two reached up and pulled the bleeding semiconscious Democrat from
the bear.
Then using long clubs, the three loggers beat the bear to death 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 loggers and environmental activists, but now
I've seen with my own eyes that that 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 God and
has access to all God's wisdom"
"Well," the logger said, "he may have access to all God's wisdom, but he
sure doesn't know anything about bear hunting..............is the bait
holding up okay or do we need to go back into town and grab another
one?"
