==============
On his recent tour of New Zealand,
the Pope took a couple of days out
of his itinerary for an impromptu visit
to the wild outdoors of the far North
of New Zealand.

Way up on desolate Ninety Mile beach,
near the mouth of the Te Paki Stream,
safe in his 4X4 Pope-mobile, his entourage
came upon an enormous commotion
in the water. They rushed to see what it
was about and upon approaching the
scene the Pope noticed a hapless man
in the surf wearing a Wallabies rugby
jersey, struggling frantically to free himself
from the jaws of a sixteen foot shark.

Almost immediately a speedboat containing
three men wearing All Black jerseys roared
into view from beyond the surf line. One of
the men took aim and fired a harpoon into
the sharks' head, immobilizing it instantly.
The other two reached down and pulled the
Aussie from the water and using long clubs,
finished the shark off.

They bundled the bleeding, semi conscious
man into the speedboat along with the dead
shark and then prepared for a hasty retreat,
when they heard frantic shouting from the
shore. It was of course the Pope.
He summoned them to the beach.

When they reached the shore the Pope went
into raptures about the rescue and said, "I give
you my best Papal blessing for your brave actions.
I had heard that there is a racist xenophobic
divide between Australia & New Zealand, but,
now I have seen with my own eyes that this is
not true. I can see that your societies are true
examples of racial harmony and could serve as
a model on which other nations could follow."

He blessed them all and drove off in a cloud
of dust.

As he departed, the harpoonist turned the other
Kiwis and asked: 'Who the bloody hell was that???!"

"That," one answered, "was his Holiness the Pope.
He is in direct contact with God and has access to
all God's wisdom."

"Well," the harpoonist replied, "he knows bugger
all about shark fishing! Now - how's that bait holding
up, or do we need to get another one?"



Cheers,
