So this man is getting on a flight and he hears that the Pope is
on the flight. "WOW, great!" he thinks. "What a good place to
be today."
So he is boarding and he doesn't see the Pope and figures that
maybe the other passengers were wrong.
He takes his seat and is thankfull that there is an empty next to
him. Just before the flight closes on walks the Pope and sits
next to him. I am surely blessed the man thinks. here I am a
good Catholic on a flight with the Pope sitting next to me.
So the plane takes off and after a few minutes the passengers
take off their seatbelts and the man looks sideways and sees the
Pope reaching into his bag and takes out a crossword book.
Marvelous, he thinks, not only am I blessed with the Pope next to
me but he does crosswords and so do I. Maybe he will ask for
help. Well the flight continues and the Pope is working his way
thru the puzzle and the man notices that the Pope is tapping his
pencil thinking.
The Pope turns to him and asks "I usually don't talk to others on
flights but I wonder if you can help me. "
"Anything your eminence. What is it?"
Do you know a four letter word for 'woman' that ends in u-n-t?
The man feels uncomfortable. He thinks and thinks. Finally he
says "The only word I can think of is aunt."
The pope turns to him and asks "Do you have an eraser?"
