Jack did not hesitate an instant, and pulling Jill into the popemobile, the two love-birds joined the Supremo of the Vatican who was in a most joyous spirit. Hey Pope, said Jack how did you pull this little trick off, I mean everyone thinks Uncle Fidel is such a mean evil bastard, no one wants to visit with the old gizzard, yet you come here and in an instant you are his guest of honor. Well my son... and daughter, it's like this..wait... Are you married by the way?
