The Pope in Alaska

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 'Save
the Whales' hat and a
'To Hell with Bush 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 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?
