The Pope took a couple of days off to visit the rugged
mountains of Alaska for some sightseeing. 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 'Vote
for Obama' hat and a 'Save the Trees' T-shirt,
was screaming while struggling frantically and thrashing
around trying to free himself from the grasp of a 10-foot
grizzly.
As the Pope watched in horror, a group of Republican
loggers with "Go Sarah T-Shirts" 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 logger 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 doesn't
know squat about bear hunting! By the way, is the bait still
alive, or do we need to go back to Seattle and get another
one?"
