The Pope is Substituted !!

Post by bobo the clown » Mon Feb 11, 2013 11:29 am

Amazing. How do Pope's resign ??

He's either very ill & feels unable to continue.

He's found "the secret paper's" and realised it's all been a big spoof.

Converted to Islam.

Someone's realised he's German & not Italian & after the Polish geezer this is too much to bare.

Didn't know whether to go with Naziism, condoms or chld abuse!

Anyway, finally the one job in the world for which my Classics degree is directly useful has come up! Anyone know how to apply?

Probably been tapped up by Redknapp. He'll be QPR's number 9 next Saturday.

He's very very ill, but unlike Pope John Paul II does not feel it necessary to dodder onwards because frankly he doesn't have quite the same motivation or agenda. He doesn't, for example, feel it's worthwhile setting up new world records for the number of saints created or the amount of tarmac drooled on.

That's been babel-fished, hasn't it ??

It'd have made easier reading in Latin.

If I were currently in the ESL I'd be booing.

A drunk that smelled like a brewery got on a bus one day. He sat down next to a priest. The drunk's shirt was stained, his face was full of bright red lipstick and he had a half-empty bottle of wine sticking out of his pocket. He opened his newspaper and started reading. A couple minutes later, he asked the priest, "Father, what causes arthritis?"

"Mister, it's caused by loose living, being with cheap, wicked women, too much alcohol, and contempt for your fellow man," the priest replied.

"Imagine that," the drunk muttered. He returned to reading his paper.

The priest, thinking about what he had said, turned to the man and apologised: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come on so strong. How long have you had arthritis?"

"I don't have arthritis, Father," the drunk said, "but I just read in the paper that the Pope does."

If it is it might mean he's re-signed for another twenty years. :wink:

I think, but I'm not sure, that he's a different religion, similar to the difference between Soccer and Baseball. But it might only be a difference along the lines of Bundesliga and Serie A. But then again it might only be the difference between the Championship and the Premiership.
