On a tour of England, the pope took a couple of days off his itinerary to visit the south west coast near Plymouth on an impromptu sight seeing trip. His 4x4 pope mobile was driving along the golden sands 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 just outside the surf, a hapless man wearing a ManU football shirt, struggling frantically to free himself from the jaws of a 20 ft shark. At that moment a speedboat containing 3 men wearing Liverpool tops roared into view from around the point, spontaneously, one of the men took aim and fired a harpoon into the shark’s ribs, immobilizing it instantly.
The other 2 reached out and pulled the ManU fan from the water, and using clubs, beat the shark to death. They bundled the bleeding semi conscious man into the speedboat along with the shark and then prepared for a hasty retreat, when they heard frantic shouting from the shore. It was of course the pope, and he summoned them to the beach.
Upon reaching the shore, the pope went into raptures about the rescue, and said; I give you my blessings for your brave actions. I had heard that there was some racist, xenophobic people trying to divide Liverpool and Manchester, 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 harmony and could serve as a role model on which other peoples could follow. With that he blessed them all and drove off in a cloud of dust.
As he departed, the harpooner asked the others, who the feck was that??? “That†one answered, \'\' was his holiness the pope. He is in direct contact with god and has access to all gods’ wisdom.
\'\' Well\'\' the harpooner replied, \'\' he knows feck all about shark fishing, how’s that bait holding up or do we need to get a new one????
