The Pope took a couple of days off to visit the rugged mountains of Alaska for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the campground in the Pope Mobile when there was a frantic commotion just at the edge of the woods.
A helpless Democrat, wearing sandals, shorts, a 'Save the Whales' hat and an ‘I Hate Bush’ was screaming while struggling frantically and thrashing around trying to free himself from the grasp of a 9-foot grizzly bear.
As the Pope watched in horror, a group of Republican loggers came racing up. One quickly fired a high powered rifle into the bear's chest. The other two reached up and pulled the bleeding, semiconscious Democrat from the bear's grasp. Then using long clubs, the three loggers finished off the bear and 2 of the loggers threw it onto the bed of their truck while the other tenderly placed the injured Democrat in the back seat.
As they prepared to leave, the Pope summoned them to come over. 'I give you my blessing for your brave actions!' he told them. 'I heard there was a bitter hatred between Republican loggers and Democratic environmental protesters and 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 was that guy?'
'It was the Pope,' another replied. 'He's in charge of the whole Catholic church and some say that he is in direct contact with heaven and has access to all wisdom.'
'Well,,,,,,,' the logger slowly said, 'he may have access to all wisdom but he doesn't know squat about bear hunting! By the way, is our bait still alive,,, or do we need to go back to California and get another one?'
