The Pope in Alaska
Mar 1, 2017 11:12:18 #
The Pope went on vacation for a few days to visit the rugged mountains of Alaska.
He was driving along near a campground when he heard a frantic commotion just at the edge of the woods.
He found a man wearing shorts, sandals, a 'Vote for Hillary' hat and a shirt with 'Save the Trees' and the Democratic Party logo emblazoned on it. The man was screaming, thrashing all about and struggling frantically in an effort to free himself from the grasp of a 10-foot grizzly bear.
As the Pope watched in horror, a group of rugged loggers wearing 'Go Trump' shirts and hats with 'Make America Great Again' on the front and Republican elephant logos on the sides came racing up. One fired a .44 magnum slug right into the bear's chest. The two others pulled the semiconscious Democrat from the bear's grasp. Then using baseball bats, the three loggers finished off the bear. Two of them dragged the dead grizzly onto the bed of their pickup truck while the other tenderly placed the injured Democrat in the back seat.
As they began to leave, the Pope summoned all of them over to him. "I give you my blessing for your brave actions!" he proudly proclaimed. "I have heard there was bitter hatred in Alaska between Republican loggers and Democratic environmental activists, but now I've seen with my own eyes that this is not true."
As the Pope drove off, one logger asked his buddies, "Who was that guy?"
"Dude," the another replied, "that was the Pope." He's in direct contact with Heaven and has access to all wisdom."
"Well," the logger said, "he may have access to all wisdom, but he don't know squat about bear hunting. By the way ...
Is the bait still alive or do we need to go back to California for another one?"

Without some tree huggers, the lumber guys would log everything, eliminating habitat for animals and effectively killing any future employment for themselves.
And sexondly, the loggers as portrayed in the story are hardly "sportsmen" to be admired.
In my opinion of course.

From a tree hugging liberal who voted for Hillary, please keep your political commentary and jokes off this site. We are here to share our photographic efforts with others, get assistance and seek advice all related to cameras, gear and similar subjects. There is a time and place for politics, however Ugly Hedgehog is NOT one of them. Thank you for your future consideration.

Thank you - at least it wasn't FAKE NEWS. I try to treat everyone with respect, even when they sometimes don't deserve it.

Great, now you're a mind reader. Read my original post - that's why. Let's keep political commentary, jokes, etc out of UHH. IMO, not appropriate even in "Chit Chat". Also, religious commentary and jokes as they can be offensive, whether they were ment that way or not.

Great morning...1st we're treated to an article by the Washington Post, then a really funny joke, from "Frenchy", made even funnier by a humorless protester's comments! I truly do love our Chit Chat section. Thank God, the U.S.A., and the Ugly Hedgehog for our free speech!
