The Pope took a few days off to visit the rugged
mountains of Alaska for some sightseeing. 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
'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 bear.
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?"
