The true meaning of shark fishing
On a tour of Southern California, the Pope took a couple of days to visit the coast for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the beach in the Pope-mobile when there was a frantic commotion just offshore. A helpless man, wearing a UCLA jersey, was struggling frantically to free himself from the jaws of a 25-foot Great White shark. As the Pope watched, horrified, a speedboat came racing up with three men wearing USC jerseys aboard. One quickly fired a harpoon into the shark's side. The other two reached out and pulled the bleeding, semi-conscious UCLA fan from the water. Then using baseball bats, the three heroes in USC jerseys beat the shark to death and hauled it into the boat. Immediately the Pope shouted to the men summoning 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 USC and UCLA fans, but now I have seen with my own eyes that this is merely a myth." As the Pope drove off, the harpooner asked his two 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's wisdom, but he doesn't know much about shark fishing. How's the bait holding up?"
