The shark

On a tour of Texas, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the  coastal area for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the  seawall on Galveston Isle in his Pope mobile when suddenly he  notices a frantic commotion just off shore.

There was John Kerry struggling frantically to free himself from the jaws  of a 25-foot shark. As the Pope watched, horrified, a speedboat came  racing up with two men aboard.  
One of the men, President George W. Bush quickly  fired a harpoon into the shark's side while Dick Cheney reached out and  pulled the bleeding, semi-conscious John Kerry from the water.  
Then using (autographed Round Rock Express) baseball bats,  the two heroes beat the shark to death and hauled it into the boat.

Immediately the Pope shouted and summoned them to the beach. "I give you  my blessings for your brave actions," he told them. "I heard that there was  some bitter hatred between President Bush and John Kerry, but now I have  seen with my own eyes that this is not true."

As the Pope drove off, President Bush asked Dick "Who was that?" "It was  the Pope," Dick replied. "He is in direct contact with God and has all of  God's wisdom.

"Well," President Bush said, "he may have access to God's wisdom, but he  don't know "shit from shineola" about shark fishing!  How's the bait holding up?"

No self respecting shark would bite that.

Maybe a shit eating shark?
