His 4x4 Pope-mobile was driving along the beautiful shoreline when there was an enormous commotion heard just off the headland. They rushed to see what it was and upon approaching the scene, the Pope noticed in the water a hapless man wearing a Chicago Cubs baseball jersey, struggling frantically to free himself from the jaws of a huge shark. At that moment a speedboat containing three men into view from around the point. Immediately, one of the men took aim and fired a harpoon into the shark's ribs. The other two reached out and pulled the Cubs fan from the water and then, using long clubs, beat the shark to death. They took the dead shark and then prepared for a hasty retreat when they heard frantic shouting from the shore. It was the Pope summoning them to the beach.He blessed them . As he departed, the harpooner asked the others, "Who was that?" "That," one answered, "that was the Holy Father, "Well," the harpooner replied, "He doesn't seem to know about shark fishing. Is the bait holding up okay or do we need to get another one?" |
