On a tour in New Zealand, the Pope took a few 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 an English rugby jersey, was struggling
frantically to free himself from the jaws of a 25 foot shark. As the
Pope watched in horror, a speedboat pulled up with three men wearing All Black rugby jerseys.
One quickly fired a harpoon into the shark's side while the other two reached out and pulled the blue semiconscious English fan 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 him. "I give you my blessing for your brave actions. I heard that there were some bitter hatred between New Zealand and English rugby 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 access to all of God's wisdom."
"Well" the harpooner said, "he may have access to God and his wisdom, but he doesn't know anything about shark fishing. Is the bait holding up OK or do we need to get another one?"
The seven dwarfs went off to work in the mine one day, while Snow White stayed at home to do the housework and cook their lunch. However when she went to the mine to deliver their lunches, she found there had been a cave-in, and there was no sign of the dwarfs. Tearfully she yelled in to the mine entrance:
"Hello - is anyone there? Can anyone hear me?!". A voice floated up from the bowels of the mine: "Australia will win the Rugby World Cup, beating France in the final"
"Thank God" said Snow White "at least Dopey's still alive!"
