Bear Hunting in Alaska
The Pope took a couple of days off to visit the
rugged mountains of Alaska 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 Democrat,
wearing sandals, shorts, a "Save the Whales" hat,
and a "To Hell with Bush" T-shirt, was screaming
while struggling frantically, and thrashing around
trying to free himself from the grasp of a 10-foot
grizzly.
As the Pope watched in horror, a group of
Republican loggers came racing up. One quickly
fired a 44 magnum into the bear's chest. The other
two reache d up and pulled the bleeding,
semiconscious Democrat from the bear's grasp. Then
using long clubs, the three loggers finished off
the bear, 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 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 of the loggers asked
his buddies, "Who was that guy?"
"It 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 holding up, or do
we need to go back to Massachusetts and get
another one?"

Us Aussies have a similar joke to that flying around, but instead of the Alaskan woods it's a Queensland beach, instead of bear hunting it's shark fishing, instead of the Pope giving blessings it's the Queen giving knightships and instead of Democrats and Republicans it's Queenslanders and New South Welshmen (The supporters of the Queensland football team [Maroons] and NSW football team [Blues] are locked into a bitter rivalry). 0
