On a tour of Florida, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the coast for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the beach in the Popemobile when there was a frantic commotion just off shore. A helpless man, wearing a Detroit Red Wings 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 Calgary Flames jerseys aboard. One quickly fired a harpoon into the shark's side. The other two reached out and pulled the bleeding, semiconscious Red Wings fan from the water. Then using baseball bats, the three heroes in Calgary jerseys 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 was some bitter hatred between Redwing and Flames fans, but now I have seen with my own eyes that this is not the truth."

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. How's the bait holding up?
