How about a lighten up post?

Three guys at work are saying, the first thing the pope said after being elected was, 1) Print more Bingo tickets and 2) There goes my Social Security Pension and 3) I'm going to Disneyland.

I thought they were cute, can we add to this without making it an all out attack on Catholics? It will be closed if you do.

Man Says He Won't Link XVI to XXX on Net
From Reuters

ROME ? An American who registered the Internet domain name BenedictXVI.com before the new pope was chosen said Wednesday that he had not decided what to do with it, but he ruled out pornography and doubted that he would accept an offer from a gambling site.

Well, gee ..... wasn't that decent of him

Too bad the Vatican wasn't on top of things enough to have all those "possible Pope" names already registered. Should'a had several decades worth already tied up.

Maybe some of us should check the Vatican Job Posting Board. Bet they have a top-level IT position open now

Hmmm, not sure what ya mean Dave,

I know that registering a possibly lucrative domain name ahead of it's actual use is sometimes done as sort of a gamble, and various court cases have arisen from such.

But how would this be deemed poaching?

Hi Jerry,

Guess what his Holiness likes for breakfast? Pope Tarts, of course. Oh boy is that a bad one. Ha Ha. Oh well, "clean" jokes are like that, right?

Cheers!

This just in: John Paul II says Heaven is a disappointment

HEAVEN?The soul of Pope John Paul, which entered heaven last week following a long illness, expressed confusion and disappointment Saturday, upon learning that the Celestial Kingdom of God to which the departed faithful ascend in the afterlife is significantly less luxurious than the Vatican's Papal Palace, in which the pope spent the past 26 years of his earthly life.

"Where are all the marble statues, sterling-silver chalices, and gem-encrusted scepters?" the visibly disappointed pope asked. "Where are the 60-foot-tall stained-glass windows and hand-painted cupolas? Where are the elaborately outfitted ranks of Swiss Guards? Why isn't every single surface gilded? This is my eternal reward?"
