> On a tour of Florida, the Pope took a couple of days off his itinerary to
> visit the coastline on an impromptu sightseeing trip. His 4X4 Popemobile
> was driving along the beautiful shoreline in an area where Canadian
> tourists typically inhabit when there was an enormous commotion heard
just
> off the headland. He drove closer to see what it was.
>
> Upon approaching the scene, he saw a man in the water wearing a Montreal
> Canadiens hockey
> jersey, struggling frantically to free himself from the jaws of a
25-foot
shark.
>
> At that moment a speedboat containing three men wearing Toronto Maple
> Leafs jerseys roared into view from around the point.
>
> Immediately, one of the men took aim and fired a harpoon into the
shark's
> ribs, immobilizing it
> instantly. The other two reached out and pulled the Montreal fan from
the
> water and then, using long clubs, beat the shark to death.
>
> They bundled the bleeding, semiconscious man into the boat along with
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.
> After they reached shore, the Pope praised them for the rescue and said,
> "I give you my blessing for
> your brave actions. I had heard that there was bitter hatred in your
> country between the fans of the
> Leafs and the Canadiens, but now I have seen with my own eyes this is
not
> true. I can see that your
> society is a truly enlightened example of true harmony and could serve
as
> a model on which other countries, like this one, could follow".
>
> He blessed them all and drove off in a cloud of dust. As he departed,
the
> harpooner asked the others, "Who was that?"
>
> "That," one answered, "was his Holiness the Pope. He is in direct
contact
> with God and has access to all of God's wisdom. "
>
> "Well," the harpooner replied, "he doesn't know a thing about
> sharkfishing. Is the bait holding up okay, or do we need to try a
> Senator fan?"
