On a tour of Montana, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the mountains 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 man, wearing sandals, Hawaiian shorts, a "Save-the-Whales " tee shirt and a tree-hugger hat was struggling frantically, thrashing around trying to free himself from the jaws of a 10 foot grizzly.
As the pope watched, horrified, a group of loggers came racing up. One ran up and quickly fired a 44 magnum into the bear's chest. The other two reached out and pulled the bleeding semiconscious man from the bear. Then using long clubs, the three loggers poked at the bear to make sure it was dead and then hauled it to their truck.
Immediately the Pope shouted and summoned them to come over.
"I give you my blessing for your brave actions he told them. I heard that there was bitter hatred between loggers and environmental activists. But now I have seen with my own eyes that this is not true."
As the Pope drove off, one logger 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 logger said, "he may have access to God's wisdom, but he sure doesn't know anything about bear hunting. By the way, is the bait holding up okay, or do we need to go back to Missoula and grab another one?"
:shock: :wink: :D :) :P :lol: :haha: :rofl: :rofl: :cheers:
