'Nucks VS Flames

[Oliverian]

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 Pope mobile
when there was a frantic commotion just off shore. A
helpless man, wearing a Calgary Flames 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 Canucks jerseys
aboard. One quickly fired a harpoon into the shark's
side. The other two reached out and pulled the
bleeding, semiconscious Flames fan from the water.
Then using baseball bats, the three heroes in Canuck's
garb 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 Canuck 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
God's wisdom, but he doesn't know sh*t about shark
fishing... how's the bait holding up?"
