Another Red Sox joke for all you Red Sox haters?

red sox joke
Mr. Big Black Dickk asked:


On a tour of Florida, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the coast for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the beach in the Pope-mobile when there was a frantic commotion just off shore. A helpless man, wearing a Boston Red Sox jersey, was struggling frantically to free himself from the jaws of a 25-foot shark.
As the Pope watched, horrified, a speedboat came racing up with three men wearing New York Yankees jerseys aboard. One quickly fired a harpoon into the shark’s side. The other two reached out and pulled the bleeding, semi-conscious Red Sox fan from the water. Then using autographed Alex Rodriguez baseball bats, the three Yankee heroes beat the shark to death and hauled it into the boat.
Immediately the Pope shouted and summoned them to the beach. “I give you my blessing for your brave actions,” he told them. “I heard that there was some bitter hatred between Red Sox and Yankee fans, but now I have seen with my own eyes that this is not the truth.”
As the Pope drove off, the harpooner 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,” the harpooner said, “He may have access to God’s wisdom but he doesn’t know squat about shark fishing. How’s the bait holding up?”

    Thats hilarious. Especially since the Red Sox are just a game away from the World Series while the Yankees sit in complate dissaray. Keep making us Sox fans proud by reminding us of just how sorry you stupid NYers truly are.

    Nice. I didn’t know that Red Sox fans can be useful for shark bait. I am now a smarter person for having learned this.

    what you failed to mention is how George Steinbrenner paid off the shark and the 3 yankees fans to act this out so the pope would like yankee fans, just like the Yankees BUY everything else.
