On a tour of Australia, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the
ocean for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the beach in his car when there
was a frantic commotion just off the shore. A helpless man wearing a black &
white all blacks rugby jersey and hat was struggling frantically to free himself
from the jaws of a 5-metre shark. As the Pope watched, horrified, a
speedboat came racing up with three men wearing green & gold Aussie jerseys.
One quickly fired a harpoon into the shark's side. The other two reached
out and pulled the mauled, bleeding and semiconscious Kiwi from the water.
Then, using long clubs, the three beat the shark to death and hauled it into the
boat. 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 NZ and Australia, but now I have seen with
my own eyes that is not true." As the Pope drove off, the harpooner asked his
mates "Who was that?" "It was the Pope," one replied. "He is in direct
contact with God and has access toall of God's wisdom." "Well," the
harpooner said "he may have access to God's wisdom but he doesn't know
shit about shark fishing... is the bait holding up okay or do we need
to get another one?"
