Re: SHARK invasion - Bondi Beach, Sydney Australia
On a tour of NZ, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the ocean for some sightseeing.
He was cruising along the beach at Wanganui in his car, when there was a frantic commotion just off the shore.
A helpless man wearing a green and gold Aussie rugby jersey was struggling frantically to free himself, from the jaws of a 5-metre shark. As the Pope watched horrified, a Waka cruised up alongside with two men wearing All Black jerseys.
Rangi quickly threw a harpoon into the shark's side. Hohepa reached out and pulled the mauled, bleeding and semi-conscious Aussie from the water. Then, using long clubs, Rangi and Hohepa killed the shark and hauled it into the boat.
Immediately the Pope summoned them to the beach, 'I give you my blessing for your brave actions,' he told them. 'I heard that there was some bitter rivalry between New Zealand and Australia , but now I have seen with my own eyes that this is not true.'
As the Pope drove off, Rangi asked Hohepa 'Who was that, bro?'
'That was the Pope cuz' Hohepa replied. 'He's in direct contact with God, and has access to all of God's wisdom.'
"Well' Rangi said, 'he may have access to God's wisdom, but he don't know bugger all about shark fishing ............. Is the bait holding up okay, or do we need to get another Aussie?"
