Talking The Pope and The Buckeyes!

A little long but worth it...

On a tour of Ohio, the Pope took a couple of days off his
itinerary to visit Lake Erie on an impromptu sightseeing trip.
His 4X4 Popemobile was driving along the beautiful shoreline when
there was an enormous commotion heard just off the headland. They
rushed to see what it was and upon approaching the scene, the
Pope noticed in the water a hapless man wearing a Michigan
football jersey, struggling frantically to free himself
from the jaws of a 12 foot sturgeon. At that moment a speedboat
containing three men wearing Ohio State football jerseys roared
into view from around the point. Spontaneously, one of the men
took aim and fired a harpoon into the sturgeon' ribs,
immobilizing it instantly. The other two reached out and pulled
the Michigan man from the water and then, using long clubs,
beat the fish to death. They bundled the bleeding, semi-conscious
man into the boat along with the dead sturgeon and then prepared
for a hasty retreat when they heard frantic shouting from the
shore. It was the Pope and he summoned them to the beach.

After they reached shore, the Pope went into raptures about the
rescue and said, "I give you my blessing for your brave actions.
I had heard that there were some bitter hatred between the people
of Ohio and Michigan, but now I have seen with my own eyes this
is not true. I can see that your society is a truly enlightened
example of true harmony and could serve as a model on which
other states could follow." He blessed them all and drove off in
a cloud of dust.

As he departed, the harpooner asked the others, "Who was that?"

"That," one answered, "was his Holiness the Pope. He is in direct
contact with God and has access to all of God's wisdom.

"Well," the harpooner replied, "he knows nothing about sturgeon
fishing. Is the bait holding up or do we need to get another one?"
