The Other Guy

On a tour of Ohio, the Pope took a couple of days off his itinerary to visit Lake Erie on an impromptu sightseeing trip. His Popemobile was driving along the beautiful shoreline when there was an enormous commotion just offshore. They rushed to see what it was and the Pope noticed in the water a hapless man wearing a Univ of Michigan football jersey, struggling frantically to free himself from the jaws of a Twelve foot Walleye.
At that moment a speed boat containing three men wearing OSU football jerseys roared into view from around the point. One of the men took aim and fired a harpoon into the Walleye's ribs, immobilizing it instantly.
The other two reached out and pulled the Michigan man from the water and then, using long clubs, beat the fish to death. They bundled the bleeding, semi-conscious man into the boat along with the dead Walleye and then prepared for a hasty retreat when they heard frantic shouting and honking from the shore. It was the Pope and he summoned them to the beach.
After they reached shore, the Pope went into raptures about the rescue and said, "I give you my blessing for your brave actions. I had heard that there were some bitter hatred between the people of Michigan and Ohio, but now I have seen with my own eyes this is not true. I can see that your society is a truly enlightened example of true harmony and could serve as a model on which other states could follow".
He blessed them all and drove off in a cloud of dust. As he departed, the harpooner asked the others,
"Who was that?"
"That," one answered, "was his Holiness the Pope. He is in direct contact with God and has access to all of God's wisdom. "Well", the harpooner replied, "he knows nothing about walleye fishing. How is the bait holding up or do we need to get another one?"
