Apologies if this is a dupe.



The Pope is visiting Washington, D.C., and President Bush takes himout for an afternoon on the Potomac, sailing on the Presidential yacht,the Sequoia.


They're admiring the sights when, all of a sudden, thePope's hat (zucchetto) blows off his head and out into the water.Secret Service guys start to launch a boat, but president Bush wavesthem off, saying, "Wait, wait. I'll take care of this. Don't>worry."Bush then steps off the yacht onto the surface of the water and walksout to the Holy Father's little hat, bends over picks it up, then walksback to the yacht and climbs aboard.


He hands the hat to the Pope amid stunned silence.


The next morning, the headlines in the New York Times, Boston>Globe,Atlanta Constitution, Washington Post, Boston Herald, Buffalo News,HoustonChronicle, Milwaukee Sentinel-Journal, Minneapolis Tribune,Denver Post, Albuquerque Journal, Los Angeles Times and San>FranciscoChronicle all proclaim:


"Bush Can't Swim"

Bump for the day walkers.

You KNOW they'd do it.
