A helpless man, wearing Birkenstocks, Hawaiian shorts, a "Save the Whales" t-shirt and a "Tree Hugger" hat was struggling frantically, thrashing around trying to free himself from the jaws of a 10 foot Grizzly.
As the pope watched horrified, a group of loggers came racing up. One ran up and quickly fired a 44 mag into the bear's chest. The other two pulled the bleeding, semiconscious man from the mouth and grasp of the bear. Then using long clubs, the three loggers beat the bear to death and hauled it to their truck.
Immediately the Pope shouted and summoned them to come over. "I give you my blessing for your brave actions!" he told them. "I heard that there was bitter hatred between Loggers and Environmental Activists, but now I have seen with my own eyes that this is not true."
As the Pope drove off, one Logger asked his buddies "Who was that?"
"It was the Pope," another replied. "He is in direct contact with God, and has access to all of God's wisdom."
"Well," the logger said, "so much for God's wisdom, he sure doesn't know anything about Bear Hunt'n!"
"By the way, is that bait holding up okay, or do we need to go back to Eugene and grab a fresh one?"
