The Pope in Alaska

The Pope went on vacation for a few days to visit the rugged mountains
of Alaska. He was cruising along the campground in the Pope Mobile
when he heard a frantic commotion just at the edge of the woods. He
found a helpless Democrat wearing shorts, sandals, a Vote for Obama
hat and a Save the Trees shirt. The man was screaming and struggling
frantically, thrashing all about and trying to free himself from the
grasp of a 10-foot grizzly bear.

As the Pope watched in horror, a group of Republican loggers wearing
Go Sarah shirts came racing up. One quickly fired a 44 magnum slug
right into the bear's chest. The two other men pulled the
semiconscious Democrat from the bear's grasp. Then using baseball
bats, the three loggers finished off the bear. Two of the men dragged
the dead grizzly onto the bed of their pickup truck while the other
tenderly placed the injured Democrat in the back seat.

As they began to leave, the Pope summoned all of them over to him.
"I give you my blessing for your brave actions!" he proudly proclaimed.
"I have heard there was 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 the heck was
that guy?"

"Dude, that 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 California and get another one?"
