We're Still Cheering

The Pope and Hillary Rodham Clinton are on the same stage, in front of a huge crowd. 'Her Majesty' and 'His Holiness', however, have seen it all before so to make it a little more interesting Hillary says to the Pope, "Did you know that with just one little wave of my hand I can make every Democrat in this crowd go wild?"

He doubts this, so she shows him. Sure enough, the wave elicits rapture and cheering from every democrat in the crowd. Gradually, the cheering subsides.

The Pope, not wanting to be outdone by such arrogance, considers what he should do. "That was 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 presidential candidate tells the Pope she doubts he can do such a thing. So the Pope proceeds to slaps her upside the head and the entire crowd went wild.They still speak of the "slap heard 'round the world."

(Ed. Note: Presidential? Wrong!)
