accidental emails
Posted: Wed Mar 14, 2007 8:00 pm
somehow i've gotten on this guy's forwarding list - he's sent me half a dozen different emails in the last couple of weeks.
normally, i will reply to somebody and tell them they've got the wrong person, but i decided to wait in this case, because it sounded like this guy had some solid gold material i could enjoy a good laugh at.
turns out i was completely wrong (but right in a completely different way). here's an example of the nuggets that have come my way lately...
The Pope took a couple of days off to visit the rugged mountains of Alaska for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the campground in the Pope Mobile when there was a frantic commotion just at the edge of the woods.
A helpless Democrat, wearing sandals, shorts, a "Save the Whales" hat, and a "To Blazes with Bush" T-shirt, was screaming while struggling frantically and thrashing around trying to free himself from the grasp of a 10-foot grizzly. As the Pope watched in horror, a group of Republican loggers came racing up.
One quickly fired a .44 magnum into the bear's chest. The other two reached up and pulled the bleeding, semiconscious Democrat from the bear's grasp. Then using long clubs, the three loggers finished off the bear and two of them threw it onto the bed of their truck while the other tenderly placed the injured Democrat in the back seat.
As they prepared to leave, the Pope summoned them to come over. "I give you my blessing for your brave actions!" he told them. "I heard there was a bitter hatred between Republican loggers and Democratic environmental activists but now I've seen with my own eyes that this is not true."
As the Pope drove off, one of the loggers asked his buddies, "Who was that guy?"
"It was the Pope," another replied. "He's in direct contact with Heaven and has access to all wisdom."
"Well," the logger said, "he may have access to all wisdom but he sure doesn't know anything about grizzly bear hunting! By the way, is the bait holding up or do we need to go back to Massachusetts and get another one?"
