Joke Of The Day
A politician and the pope were both killed in an accident.
The two were in line to see St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter asked the politician his name and looked it up in his book. He then asked the Pope for his name, and looked it up in his book also.
“Now, if you will come with me, I will show you your eternal dwellings,” said St. Peter.
They walked along the clouds and came to a huge mansion with all sorts of lavish trappings. St. Peter turned to the politician and told him this was to be his house. The Pope, knowing how important he was to the church could hardly imagine what his house would be like.
St. Peter and the Pope continued on to a small, beat-up wooden shack. St. Peter told the Pope that this would be his dwelling. The Pope, shocked, said to St. Peter, “Just a minute! That other guy was a politician and he gets a mansion. I was the head of the Roman Catholic church, and this is all the reward I get?”
St. Peter looked at the Pope and said “True, you have done great things. But we have lots of Popes in Heaven, and that guy was the first politician ever to make it up here.”
Joke Of The Day
The Pope was finishing his sermon. He ended it with the Latin phrase: “Tuti Homini” – Blessed be Mankind.
A women’s rights group approached the Pope the next day. They pointed out that the Pope blessed all Mankind, but not Womankind.
The next day, after His sermon, the Pope concluded by saying: “Tuti Homini, et Tuti Femini” – Blessed be Mankind and Womankind.
The next day, a gay-rights group approached the Pope. They said that they noted that he blessed Mankind and Womankind, and asked if he could also bless Gay people.
The next day, the Pope concluded his sermon with: “Tuti Homini, et Tuti Femini, et Tuti Fruiti.”
The Great Vatican Debate
Several centuries ago, the Pope decided that all the Jews had to leave the Vatican. Naturally there was a big uproar from the Jewish community. So the Pope made a deal. He would have a religious debate with a member of the Jewish community. If the Jew won, the Jews could stay. If the Pope won, the Jews would leave. The Jews realized that they had no choice. So they picked an elderly aged man named Moishe to represent them. Rabbi Moishe’s Latin wasn’t very good – in fact, he knew very little–but he was a man of great faith and well respected in the Jewish community. The pope agreed. What could be easier than a silent debate?
The day of the great debate came. Moishe and the Pope sat opposite each other for a full minute before the Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers. Moishe looked back at him and raised one finger. The Pope waved his fingers in a circle around his head. Moishe pointed to the ground where he sat. The Pope pulled out a wafer and a glass of wine. Moishe pulled out an apple. The Pope stood up and said, “I give up. This man is too good. The Jews can stay.”
An hour later, the cardinals were all around the Pope asking him what happened. The Pope said: “First I held up three fingers to represent the Trinity. He responded by holding up one finger to remind me that there was still one God common to both our religions. Then I waved my finger around me to show him that God was all around us. He responded by pointing to the ground and showing that God was also right here with us. I pulled out the wine and the wafer to show that God absolves us from our sins. He pulled out an apple to remind me of original sin. He had an answer for everything. What could I do?”
Meanwhile, the Jewish community had crowded around Moishe. “What happened?” they asked. “Well,” said Moishe, “First he said to me that the Jews had three days to get out of here. I told him that not one of us was leaving. Then he told me that this whole city would be cleared of Jews. I let him know that we were staying right here.” “And then?” asked a woman. “I don’t know,” said Moishe. “He took out his lunch and I took out mine.”
