On a tour of Louisiana, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the
coastal area for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the beach in
Grand Isle in his Pope mobile. Suddenly he noticed a frantic
commotion just off shore.
A helpless man, wearing a Tulane 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 LSU
jerseys aboard. One quickly fired a harpoon into the shark's side. The
other two reached out and pulled the bleeding, semi-conscious Tulane
fan from the water. Then using (autographed Smoke Lavall) baseball
bats, the three heroes 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 blessings for your brave actions," he told them. "I heard that
there was some bitter hatred between Tulane and LSU fans, but now I
have seen with my own eyes that this is not true."
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 all of God's wisdom." "Well," the harpooner said, "he may have
access to God's wisdom, but he doesn't know squat about shark
fishing. How's the bait holding up?"
