On a tour of Idaho, the Pope took a couple of days off to
visit the mountains 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 man, wearing sandals, hawaiian shorts, a save-the-
whales tee shirt and a tree-hugger hat was struggling
frantically thrashing around trying to free himself from the
jaws of a 10 foot grizzly. As the pope watched horrified, a
group of burly loggers came racing up. One quickly
fired a 44 magnum into the bear's chest. The other two
reached out and pulled the bleeding semiconscious man from
the bear and eased him into their truck. Then using clubs, they
beat the bear to death and hauled it to their truck also. Immediately
the Pope shouted and summoned them to come over. "I give you
my blessing for your brave actions," ! he told them. "I heard
that there was some bitter hatred between loggers and wacko
environmental activists, But now I have seen with my own eyes
that this is not true".
As the Pope drove off, one logger asked his buddies "Who was
that"?
"It was the Pope," one replied. "He is in direct contact with
God and has access to all of God's wisdom".
"Well," the logger said, "he may have access to God's wisdom,
but he sure doesn't know anything about bear hunting. By the
way, is the bait holding up O.K., or do we need to grab
another one"?
