AndrewR! Have you got your bags packed?

"Pope John Paul II is rushed to hospital with breathing difficulties
after falling ill with flu, the Vatican says."

Worse now it is. He has a proper latin name for it now. Good as dead
then.

 

Pick a day then. I give him till this thursday.

You are joking right? The logistical nightmare that will be the funeral
needs at least three weeks of planning. Thursday fortnight and not a
day before and that is assuming it is not a stunt, what with Easter
being round the corner and everything.

 

Surely they've been planning it for ~ 25 years/

Perzackerly, they have to get the smell of mothballs out of their formal
burying a stiff pontiff frocks.

 

I'm sticking with my day. He'll lay in state for a week or so before
he's planted so they can get on with all the fancy stuff.

 

He can't die until the Duracells powering his electric legs trolley (The old
one the Queen Mum used to use) run out.

Lets face it he'll fall off his trolley, die, be resurrected and a book
about his exploits will be published that'll be an international best seller
for aeons...........

Strange..........that scenario (minus the trolley) seems familiar?!?

Bollox. I've lost my betting slip.

 

My guess is that the next Pope will be called Peter, just to be awkward.

Last but one according to Nostradamus, if I remember right.

What a pisser eh, the absolute certain knowledge that pretty much
whatever he does it will be the bloke who comes after who is forever
remembered by history as the Last Pope.

 

Hi, this is AndrewR. Sorry but I'm out of the country at the moment. If
you would like to leave a message then please do so after the beep.
Alternatively you can try my mobile number or call the Vatican and ask for
Carol's old extension. Thanks.

You reckon I should offer my services then?

 

you don't think the boys at the top that actually run the show believe
all that religious mumbo-jumbo themselves, do you?

 

Nearly. The last one of all - er, if I remember right.

 

Reminds me of a programme about Marlboro Man: one of the guys who posed for
the pictures (cowboys on horses, sharing a light against great scenery sort
of thing) noticed that one of the company execs on the shoot was refusing
offers of cigarettes. "Don't you smoke?" he asked. The answer was (IIRC)
"The only people who smoke are the young, the dumb, the poor and the
blacks."

"This pope is now ailing and there are only two popes left on
Malachy's list. The next pope, as we see, is called From the Glory of
the Olive.

Malachy says that there will be another pope after De Gloria Olivae.
That pope is called simply Peter the Roman. Malachy says simply that
after that event the Terrible Judge will judge the people.

This is the end of the papacy."

Ah. OK.

if only it were just the "fuckwits".

If you're not already familiar with "Intelligent Design Theory", go and
Google for it - that'll "cheer" you up.

 

there's a striking parallel between organised religion and Big Tobacco,
donchathink?
