When the pope visited Alaska

This one has probably been floating around for some time and I grabbed it off Baen’s Bar. I thought it was amusing and I thought I would share with you. 🙂

The Pope went on vacation for a few days to visit the rugged mountains of
Alaska . He was cruising along the campground in the Pope Mobile when he
heard a frantic commotion just at the edge of the woods.

He found a helpless Democrat wearing shorts, sandals, a Vote for Obama hat
and a Save the Trees shirt. The man was screaming and struggling frantically
, thrashing all about and trying to free himself from the grasp of a 10-foot
grizzly bear.

As the Pope watched in horror, a group of Republican loggers wearing Go
Sarah shirts came racing up.

One quickly fired a 44 magnum slug right into the bear’s chest. The two
other men pulled the semiconscious Democrat from the bear’s grasp. Then
using baseball bats, the three loggers finished off the bear.

Two of the men dragged the dead grizzly onto the bed of their pickup truck.

The other tenderly placed the injured Democrat in the back seat.

As they began to leave, the Pope summoned all of them men over to him. “I
give you my blessing for your brave actions!” he proudly proclaimed. “I have
heard there was 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 logger asked his buddies, “Who the heck was that
guy?” “Dude, that 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 still alive or do we
need to go back to Massachusetts and get another one?”
