one for every kiwi

Hi everyone, I' ve read this joke on a Dutch forum, I thought it was worth sharing!!

ONE FOR EVERY KIWI

On a tour of NZ, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit
the ocean 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 green and gold Aussie rugby jersey
and hat 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 black & white All Black jerseys.

One quickly fired a harpoon into the shark`s side. The other
two reached out and pulled the mauled, bleeding and semiconscious Aussie
from the water. Then, using long clubs, the three 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 blessing for your brave actions," he told them. "I heard
that there was some bitter hatred between NZ and Australia, but now I have
seen with my own eyes that is not true."

When the Pope drove off, the harpooner asked his mates "Who
was that?"

"It was the Pope," one replied. "He is in direct contact with
God and has access to all of God's wisdom."

"Well," the harpooner said "he may have access to God's wisdom
but he doesn't know diddly squat about shark fishing......is the bait
holding up okay or do we need to get another one?" Mr. Green

Cheers, Lesly
