On a tour of Idaho, the Pope took a couple of days off
to visit the mountains for some sightseeing.

He was cruising along the campground in the pope-mobile
when there was a frantic commotion just at the edge of
the woods.

A helpless man, wearing a hemp shorts & a save the
whales tee shirt, was struggling frantically
to free himself from the jaws of a 10 foot grizzly
As the pope watched horrified, a group of Spodes came
racing up wearing Idaho Spodefest Long sleeve tee-shirts.
One quickly fired a 44 mag into the bears chest.

The other two reached out and pulled the bleeding
semiconscious, man from the bear. Then using
long clubs, the three spodes 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
some bitter hatred between dirt bikers and environmental
activists, But now I have seen with my own eyes
that this is not true".

As the Pope drove off, the IdaSpode asked his
buddies "Who was that"?
"It was the Pope", one replied. "He is in direct contact
with God and has access to all of God's wisdom".

"Well," IdaSpode said, "he may have access to God's
wisdom, but he doesn't know anything about bear hunting.

John A asks: "Is the bait holding up O.K., or do we
need to get another one"?
