That reminds me of this great line from Richard Dawkins' <i>The Ancestor's Tale</i>, on the speech capabilities of early hominids: <blockquote> The evidence is that their throat shape would not have allowed the full range of vowels that we deploy. On the other hand, as the linguist and evolutionary psychologist Steven Pinker has remarked, "e lengeege weth e smell nember ef vewels cen remeen quete expresseve." </blockquote> Heh.

Finally, he shouts to the seated passengers, "Please, everyone, is there a priest on board this train?" No one responds to the man, so he continues moving up and down the aisles, sporadically waving his arms and pulling at his hair. Again he speaks to the passengers, saying, "Okay, fine, is there a deacon on board?" Again, no one responds. The man is obviously growing quite desperate, and he shouts out, "Alright, is there a <i>rabbbi</i> on board?" A man near the back of the car approaches the panicking passenger and says, "My son, I am a Baptist minister. Is there any way I can help you?" The passenger gives him a confused look and shouts, "What? No! To <i>Hell</i> with you! I need a goddamn corkscrew!"

The man is nervous, excited, and trying to think of something to say. The pope is doing a crossword puzzle, and the man says "So, your Holiness, do you enjoy crossword puzzles, too?" The pope responds "Yes, my son." The man thinks to himself, wow that was a dumb question - I blew it. Just then, the pope leans over and asks "What's a four letter word for 'woman' that ends in U-N-T?" The man, terrified, thinks: oh, dear. I know the answer, but it's such a terribly vulgar word, I can't... oh wait! He blurts out "Yes, your eminence! The word is "AUNT." The pope says "Ah, yes, of course. Do you have an eraser?"

Just before the meeting, an ashen-faced cardinal comes out and informs the tycoon that all audiences have been cancelled, as the pope has only days to live, and the secret must be kept. Crestfallen, the tycoon heads for the airport. While on layover in London, he decides to have an ale at the local pub. On his way out, he is accosted by a homeless drunk who says "Pardon me Guv'nor, spare a bob to buy me a meal?" "I'll do better than that, my good man -- take this ten-pound note, go into that pub and place it on the "Odds on pope to die" wager on their blackboard" One year later while on vacation, the tycoon runs into the same bum at the same pub. "What's the matter," says the tycoon, "didn't you make that wager?" "Aye, aye" says the bum -- and then I parlayed it all on the Archbishop of Canterbury!"
