Just so it is clear, I am a Cubs fan.
THE POPE AND THE SHARK
On a tour of Florida, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the
coast for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the beach in the
Popemobile when there was a frantic commotion just off shore.
A helpless man, wearing a Chicago Cubs jersey, was struggling
frantically to free himself from the jaws of a 25-foot shark.
As the Pope watched, horrified, a speedboat came racing up with three
men wearing St. Louis Cardinals jerseys aboard. One quickly fired a harpoon
into the shark's side. The other two reached out and pulled the bleeding,
semi-conscious Cubs fan from the water.
Then using baseball bats (autographed by Albert Pujols himself), the
three heroes in Cardinal Red beat the shark to death and hauled it into the
boat.
Immediately the Pope shouted and summoned them to the beach. "I give
you my blessing for your brave actions," he told them. "I heard that there
was some bitter hatred between Cardinal and Cub fans, but now I have seen with
my own eyes that this is not the truth."
As the Pope drove off, the harpooner 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 harpooner said, "he may have access to God's wisdom, but
he doesn't know shit about shark fishing.... how's the bait holding up?"
