ANCHORAGE (PP)- 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 Massachusetts and get another one?
