    apologies if you heard it before:

    > Scotland vs England
    > On a tour of Scotland, the Pope took a couple of days off his
    > itinerary to visit the North coast near Aberdeen on an impromptu
    > sightseeing trip. His 4X4 Popemobile was driving along the golden
    > sands when there was an enormous commotion heard just off the
    > headland. They rushed to see what it was and upon approaching the
    > scene the Pope noticed just outside the surf, a hapless man wearing an
    > English Rugby jersey, struggling frantically to
    free
    > himself from
    > the jaws of a twenty foot shark.
    > At that moment a speedboat containing three men wearing Scottish rugby
    tops
    > roared into view from around the point. Spontaneously, one of the men
    > took aim and fired a harpoon into the shark's ribs, immobilizing it
    > instantly. The other two reached out and pulled the Englishman from
    > the water and then, using long clubs, beat the shark to death.
    > They bundled the bleeding, semi conscious man into the speed boat along
    > with the dead shark and then prepared for a hasty retreat, when they heard
    > frantic shouting
    > from the shore. It was of course the Pope, and he summoned them to the
    > beach.
    > Upon them reaching the shore the Pope went into raptures about the rescue

    > He blessed them all and drove off in a cloud of dust.
    > As he departed, the harpoonist asked the others, "Who was that???!"
    > "That," one answered, "was his Holiness the Pope. He is in direct
