Pope Kerry and Bush

[Vampiel]

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?"
