Bear Hunting

[PSM]

On a tour of Alaska, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the
mountains for some sight seeing. 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 "Save the Whales" T-shirt
and a Tree Hugger Hat, was struggling frantically, thrashing around trying
to free himself from jaws of a 10 foot grizzly.

As the Pope watched horrified, a group of Republican loggers came racing up.
One quickly fired a .338 magnum into the bear's chest. The other two reached
up and pulled the bleeding semiconscious Democrat from the bear. Then using
long clubs, the three loggers beat the bear to death 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 loggers and environmental activists, but now I've seen
with my own eyes that 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 God and has
access to all God's wisdom."

"Well," the logger said, "he may have access to all God's wisdom, but he
sure doesn't know anything about bear hunting.....is the bait holding up
okay or do we need to go back to town and grab another one?"
