Shark Fishing

[TalonRider]

On a tour of Texas, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the

Coastal area for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the sea wall on

Galveston Isle in his Pope-mobile when suddenly he notices a frantic

commotion just off shore.

There was John Kerry struggling frantically to free himself from the

jaws of a 25-foot shark. As the Pope watched, horrified, a speedboat

came racing up with two men aboard. One of the men, President George W. Bush quickly fired a harpoon into the shark's side while Dick Cheney

reached out and pulled the bleeding, semiconscious John Kerry from the water.

Then using (autographed Round Rock Express) baseball bats, the two

heroes 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 blessings for your brave actions," he told them. "I heard that there was some bitter hatred between President Bush and John Kerry, but now I have seen with my own eyes that this is not true."

As the Pope drove off, President Bush asked Dick "Who was that?"

"It was the Pope," Dick replied. "He is in direct contact with God and

has all of God's wisdom."

"Well," President Bush said, "he may have access to God's wisdom, but he doesn't know squat about shark fishing...................how's the bait

holding up?"
