On a tour of Alaska, the Pope went to the mountains for some sight seeing. He was cruising along when suddenly there was a frantic commotion just at the edge of the woods. A helpless Democrat environmentalist, wearing a" Save the Whales" T-shirt was struggling frantically, trying to free himself from the jaws of a 10-foot grizzly.

As the Pope watched horrified, a group of Republican loggers came racing up. One quickly fired a .44 magnum into the bears chest. The other two reached up and pulled the bleeding semiconscious Democrat from the bear. Then, the three loggers threw the bear onto the bed of their truck while the other tenderly placed the injured Democrat in the back seat.

The Pope said to the loggers, "I give you my blessing for your brave actions! I heard there was a bitter hatred between loggers and environmental activists, but now Ive seen with my own eyes that love overcomes differences."

As the Pope drove off, one of the loggers said, "That was the Pope. He has access to all Gods wisdom."

Another logger said, "He may have access to all Gods wisdom, but he sure doesnt know anything about bear hunting..... By the way, is the bait holding up okay or do we need to go back to town and grab another one?"
