That rascally Pope

The Pope and Queen Elizabeth were standing on a balcony beaming at the thousands of people in the forecourt below.

 

The Queen says to the Pope out of the corner of her mouth, "I bet you a tenner that I can make every English person in the crowd go wild with just a wave of my hand."

 

The Pope says, "No way. You can't do that."

 

The Queen says, "Watch this."

 

So the Queen waves her hand and every English person in the crowd goes crazy, waving their little plastic Union Jacks on sticks and cheering, basically going ballistic.

 

The Pope thinks to himself for a minute and then he turns to her and says, "That's pretty impressive, but I bet you I can make every Irish person in the crowd go wild, not just now, but for the rest of the week, with just one nod of my head."

 

The Queen goes, "No way, you can't do that."

 

So the Pope headbutts her.
