> On a tour of Texas, the Pope took a couple of days off to
> visit the coast for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the beach in
> the pope-mobile when there was a frantic commotion just off shore.
>
> A helpless man, wearing a red Indiana Hoosiers 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 gold Purdue jerseys. One quickly fired a harpoon into the
> sharks' side. The other two reached out and pulled the bleeding
> semiconscious, Hoosier from the water. Then using 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 Boilermakers and Hoosiers,
> but now I have seen with my own eyes that this is not true".

> As the Pope drove off, the harpooner asked his buddies "Who

> "It was the Pope", one replied. "He is in direct contact

> "Well," the harpooner said, "he may have access to God's
