The attempt at playing the shell game with zucchetti was foiled by the fact that, since the 14th century, there were no longer three popes. The Monsignor guess correctly each and every time.

I feel for the pope on this one. When I fall asleep in my chair, my little daughters try to slip the pen out of my pocket. Still, you'd think a cardinal would know better.

The Holy Father's "Levitating Zuccheto Trick" was a bit less awe-inspiring than many had hoped.

Just add this final touch and my Pope-bot will be complete!

Brooding in his salad days of obsessive languor, this contumely, by a timorous aficionado, venal and jealous of the Pontiff's copious Brobdingnagian head of hair,(the envy of most priests and nuns alike)was not able to resist a sedulous peek, and steals the Popes cap, in hopes that it will tranasmogrify the paucity of hairs on his own glabrous head. Apprehended, he receved no clemency, thus being given the sobriquet, " the capnap sap".

Seems to me like he's praying, not sleeping! For a guy his age, he has gorgeous hair!

I'm sorry, Your Holiness, but I did promise the Monsiegnor I'd look EVERYWHERE for the Popemobile keys!

Ambitious to be a deus ex machina and thinking it was an importunate afflatus and portent, the boulevarier Cardinal, not a mere epigone, posessing a winsome yet inveigling lenity, mistakes the pontiff's lionized zuccheto as ostentatious gimcrack, and continued to obtrude his parsimonious tastes, but was promptly lambasted by the camarilla.

Everyone wondered when the Holy Father first decided to wear the Saturno again, little did they realise it was a case of Switch-a-Roo

I wonder if I can see what he is thinking if I take this off?

Marini, I've got the zuccheto, you tie the shoes together!

J,

Do you have a Word-of-the-Day calendar or are you studying for the SATs?

;0)

God Bless,
