| The Queen and the Pope |
 The Queen and the Pope are on the same stage. Huge crowd. The Queen
and His Holiness however, have seen it all before, so to make it a little more
interesting, Her Majesty says to his Holiness, "Pope, did you know, that
with just one little wave of my hand I can make every English person in this
crowd go wild?" |
| He doubts it, so she shows him, and sure enough the little royal
gloved wave elicits rapture and cheering from every pommie in the crowd.
Gradually it subsides. His Holiness, not wishing to be outdone by a woman, who
incidentally is wearing a worse frock and hat than he is, thinks to himself,
what am I to do. Then it dawns on him. |
| "Your Majesty, that was impressive, but did you know that with
one nod of my head I can make every Irish person in the crowd go crazy with joy?
This joy will not be a momentary display like that of your subjects, but this
joy will go deep to their hearts, and they will talk of it and rejoice for
months." |
| The Queen seriously doubts this. .. "One little nod of your
head, and all the Irish are joyous for a week? Show me." |
| So the Pope headbutts her.
