[size 1]On a tour of Wyoming, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the
mountains for some sightseeing. He was cruising around a campground in
the Pope-mobile when there was a frantic commotion just at the edge of
the woods. A helpless man, wearing sandals, Hawaiian shorts,
a save-the-whales tee 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 loggers came racing up. One ran
up and quickly fired a 44 mag into the bear's chest. The other two reached
out and pulled the bleeding semiconscious man from the bear. Then using
long clubs, the three loggers beat the bear to death and hauled it to
their truck.
Immediately the Pope shouted and summoned them to come over. "I
give you my blessing for your brave actions!" he told them. "I heard that
there was bitter hatred between loggers and environmental activists. But
now I have seen with my own eyes that this is not true."
As the Pope drove off, one logger asked his buddies "Who was that?"
"It was the Pope," one replied. "He is in direct contact with God, and has
access to all of God's wisdom."
"Well," the logger said, "he may have access to God's wisdom, but he sure
doesn't know anything about bear hunting. By the way, is the bait holding
up okay, or do we need to go back to Jackson and grab another one?" [/size]
