The Pope in Alabama


Alabama is noted for being the most racial state in the U.S.A. Anyway, during the Pope's last Papal visit to the states, he and his driver thought it would be wise to take a drive through Alabama. He thought just maybe he could find hint as to where this problem arose and how to possibly abolish it. So, they were driving on a long and scenic road. Alongside, there were swampy, murky, and marshy waters.

Out of the corner of the Pope's eye, he notices two white men pulling a black man out of these waters. He has his driver pull over. He gets out, and runs over to the men. He says, "I am so happy to see two white men helping out a black man. This is beautiful!"

The Pope is in his glory. He proceeds to give the two white men their blessings. He then kneels to black man, lifts his hand and recites a prayer. He concludes by saying "May the lord be with you all, there is hope for us after all." He says goodbye to everyone, gets in his car and they drive away.

One white man says to the other, "Who the hell was that guy?" The other responds,"That was the Pope." The other says, "Well what does he do, where's he from?" The other says, "He's from The Vatican in Rome. He preaches Catholicism all over the world. He knows everything there is to know about The Old and The New Testament. He definitely knows Religion."

Still confused, the other white man turns and says, "That's great! He don't know dick about alligator fishing!"
