A shy gentleman was preparing to board a plane when he heard
that the Pope was on the same flight.
“This is exciting,” thought the gentleman. I’ve always been a big fan of the
Pope. Perhaps I’ll be able to see him in person. Imagine his surprise when the
Pope sat down in the
seat next to him for the flight. Still, the gentleman was too shy to speak to
the Pontiff.
Shortly after take-off, the Pope began a crossword puzzle. This is fantastic,
thought the gentleman. I’m really good at crosswords. Perhaps, if the Pope gets
stuck, he’ll ask me
for assistance.
Almost immediately, the Pope turned to the gentleman and said, “Excuse me, but
do you know a four letter word referring to a woman that ends in ‘u-n-t’?”
Only one word came to mind…my goodness, thought the gentleman, I can’t tell the
Pope that. There must be another. The gentleman thought for quite a while, then
it hit him.
Turning to the pope, the gentleman said, “I think you’re looking for the word
‘aunt’.”
“Ah Of course,” said the Pope. “Do you have an eraser?” |
