On a tour of California, the Pope took a couple of days off to Visit the Coast for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the beach in the pope-mobile when there was a frantic commotion just offshore. A helpless man, wearing a Green Seahawks football 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 LA Rams jerseys. One quickly fired a harpoon into the sharks' side. The other two reached out and pulled the bleeding semiconscious, Seahawks fan from the water. Then using long clubs, the three beat the shark to death and hauled it into the boat also. Immediately the Pope shouted and summoned them to the beach. "I give you my blessing for your brave actions," he told them. "I heard that there were some bitter hatred feelings between Rams and the Seahawks, 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 much about shark fishing. Is the bait holding up O.K., or do we need to get another one"?
