PopeWatch: Wheel Chair

 

Pope Francis:  Well, who did it?

Swiss Guard Captain:  I have no idea Holiness.  (snicker)

Pope Francis:  Do you think this is funny?

Swiss Guard Captain:  No Holiness.  Well it does strike me like something from an old Three Stooges short video.

Pope Francis:  Tres Stooges?

Swiss Guard Captain:  An American comedy series involving the misadventures of three men with the humor usually depending on physical misfortunes.

Pope Francis:  That sounds like something the gringos would waste their time watching.  Well, how are you going to get me out of this?

Swiss Guard Captain:  This should be simple Holiness.  Simply unbutton your cassock.   The glue will hold your cassock and I can lift you from the chair.

Pope Francis:  Ay Caramba!

Swiss Guard Captain:  Pardon Holiness, I should have activated the brake on the wheel chair first.  Let’s try again.

Pope Francis:  Oof!

Swiss Guard Captain:  You are free Holiness!

Pope Francis:  Why do you look disturbed?

Swiss Guard Captain:  I am receiving reports that a viral video of all this has been posted to YouTube, to the music of Three Blind Mice.

Pope Francis:  Gringos are loco!   What is this bumper sticker on the back of the wheel chair?

 

Swiss Guard Captain:   I believe it is the national motto of the Confederacy Holiness.

Pope Francis:  Confederate stooges?  I am being stalked by Confederate stooges?  I wish I was back in Buenos Aires!
