The Pope and President Bush were on the same stage in front of a huge crowd.
Bush and His Holiness had seen it all before, so to make it a little more interesting, the President said to the Pope, "Did you know that with just one little wave of my hand I can make every Republican in the crowd go wild?"
He doubted it, so Bush showed him. Sure enough, the wave elicited rapture and cheering from every Republican in the crowd.
Gradually, the cheering subsided.
The Pope, not wanting to be outdone by such a level of arrogance, considered what he could do.
"That was very impressive. But did you know that with just one little wave of MY hand I can make EVERY person in the crowd go crazy with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display like that of your subjects, but will go deep into their hearts, and they will forever speak of this day and rejoice."
The President seriously doubted this, and said so. "One little wave of your hand and all people will rejoice forever? Show me."
So the Pope slapped him.
