During a tour of Boston, the Pope took a
couple of days off to visit the Cape for some sightseeing.

He was cruising along the beach in the Pope-Mobile when there was a
frantic commotion just off shore.
A helpless man, wearing a pin-striped Yankees 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 Red Sox jerseys.  One quickly fired a harpoon into the shark's side.

The other two reached out and pulled the bleeding, semiconscious Yankee
fan from the water.

Then using long clubs, the three beat the shark to death and hauled it,
too, into the boat.

Immediately, the Pope shouted and summoned them to the beach.
"I give you my blessing for your brave actions," he said.   "I have
been told about there being bad blood between Sox and Yankee fans but now I
have seen with my own eyes that this is not true."

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 jack about shark fishing.
Is the bait holding up O.K., or do we need to get another one?"
