Subject: Bear Hunting and Politics
The Pope took a couple of days off to visit the Rugged Mountains of
British Columbia 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 Liberal, wearing sandals, shorts, a "Save the Whales" hat,
and a "To Hell with Dion" 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 Conservative 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 Liberal 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 Liberal 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 Conservative loggers and Liberal
Environmental activists but now I've seen with my own eyes that this
is not true."
As the Pope drove off, one of the loggers 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 sure
doesn't know anything about Grizzly bear hunting! By the way, is the bait
holding up, or do we need to go back to Ontario and get another one?
