A gentleman is sitting next to the Pope
on an airplane. He sees that the Pope is doing a crossword puzzle. He thinks to
himself, "I love doing crossword puzzles. I hope he will ask me for
help."
Time passes, and the Pope says, "Excuse
me, sir, but do you know a four-letter word that describes a woman and ends in 'unt'?"
The gentleman thinks about this and was about
to answer when he realized he couldn't say something like that to the Pope. He
thinks a while longer and finally says, "I believe the word you're looking
for is 'aunt'."
The Pope replies, "Oh, you're right.
That fits too. Would you happen to have an eraser?"
