Weekend Funny

Via email:

On a visit to California, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the
mountains for some sight seeing. He was cruising through a campground in the
Pope-mobile when he noticed a frantic commotion just at the edge of the woods
and directed his chauffeur to drive closer to investigate. They saw a
helpless man, wearing sandals, Hawaiian shorts, a "Save the Whales" T-shirt,
and a tree hugger hat, struggling frantically, thrashing around trying to
free himself from the jaws of a 10 foot grizzly.

As the Pope watched horrified, a group of loggers came racing up and
dispatched the bear with their 44 magnums, then pulled the bleeding
semi-conscious Democrat from the bear's jaws and administered first aid.

When they had completed their rescue, the Pope shouted and summoned the
loggers 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 have seen with my own eyes that at least
one side believes in extending Christian charity to their opponents."

As the Pope drove off, one of the loggers remarked to his buddies, "Ya know,
he may be in direct contact with God and all that, but he sure doesn't know
anything about bear hunting. By the way, is the bait holding up okay, or do
we need to go into the city and grab another one?"
