On a tour of Texas, the Pope took a
couple of days off to visit the coastal area for some sightseeing. He was cruising along
the sea wall on Galveston Isle in his Pope mobile when suddenly he notices a frantic
commotion just off shore.
There was John Kerry struggling frantically to free himself from the jaws of a 25-foot
shark. As the Pope watched, horrified, a speedboat came racing up with two men aboard. One
of the men, President George W. Bush quickly fired a harpoon into the shark's side while
Dick Cheney reached out and pulled the bleeding, semi-conscious John Kerry from the water.
Then using (autographed Round Rock Express) baseball bats, the two 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 blessings
for your brave actions," he told them. "I heard that there was some bitter
hatred between President Bush and John Kerry, but now I have seen with my own eyes that
this is not true."
As the Pope drove off, President Bush asked Dick "Who was that?"
"It was the Pope," Dick replied. "He is in direct contact with God and has
all of God's wisdom."
"Well," President Bush said, "he may have access to God's wisdom, but he
doesn't know squat about shark fishing........ how's the bait holding
up?"Â Â Â
