The Pope on a Boat

a big shout-out to Ida from sapphoqnfriends On a tour of New Zealand, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the ocean for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the beach at the Whakatane Heads in his car when there was a frantic commotion just off the shore. A helpless man wearing a green and gold Aussie rugby jersey and hat was struggling frantically to free himself from the jaws of a 5-metre shark. As the Pope watched, Horrified, a Waka (Canoe) came cruzin up with two men wearing black & white jerseys. Kora quickly chucked a harpoon into the shark`s side. Hohepa reached out and pulled the mauled, bleeding and semi-conscious Aussie from the water. Then, using long clubs, Kora and Hohepa beat the shark to death and hauled it into the boat. Immediately the Pope shouted and summoned 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 New Zealand and Australia, but now I have seen with my own eyes that is not true." As the Pope drove off, Kora asked Hohepa "Who the bloody hell was that bro?" "That was the Pope mate," Hohepa replied. "He's in direct contact with God bro, and has access to all of God's wisdom." "Well," Kora said "he may have access to God's wisdom but the prick don't know Jack Sh*t about shark fishing......... Is the bait holding up okay or do we need to get another Aussie?"
