On a tour to Flordia, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the coast for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the beach in his car when there was a frantic commotion just off the shore.
A helpless man, wearing a maize and blue Michigan jersey, was struggling frantically to free himself from the jaws of a 25-foot shark. As the Pope watched horrified, a speedboat came racing up with three men wearing scarlet and gray Ohio State jerseys. One quickly fired a harpoon into the sharks side. The other two reached out and pulled the bleeding semiconsciouse Wolverine from the water. Then usling long clubs, the three beat the shark to death and hauled it, too, into the boat.
Immediately the Pope shouted and summoned them to the beach. "I give you my blessing for your brave actions." he told them. "I heard that there were some bitter hatreds between Wolverines and Buckeyes, but now I have seen with my own eyes that is not true."
As the Pope drove off, the harpooner asked his buddies "Who was that?" "It was the Pope" one replied. "He is in direct connect with God and has access all of God's wisdom." "Well" said the harpooner, "He may have access to God's wisdom, but he doesn't know anything about shark fishing! Is the bait holding up or do we need another one?"
