On a tour of Texas, the Pope took a couple of days off for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the beach of Possum Kingdom Lake in his Pope mobile. Suddenly he noticed a frantic commotion just off shore. A helpless man, wearing a OU jersey, was struggling frantically to free himself from the jaws of a 15-foot catfish. As the Pope watched, horrified, a speedboat came racing up with three men wearing Longhorn jerseys aboard. One quickly fired a harpoon into the fish's side. The other two reached out and pulled the bleeding, semi-conscious OU fan from the water. Then using baseball bats (autographed by Rusty Greer), the three heroes beat the catfish to death and hauled it into the boat also. Immediately the Pope shouted and summoned them to the beach. "I give you my blessings for your brave actions," he told them. "I heard that there was some bitter hatred between the the Texas and Oklahoma fans, but now I have seen with my own eyes that this is not true." As the Pope drove off, the harpooner asked his buddies, "Who was that?" "It was the Pope," one replied. "He is in direct contact with God and has all of God's wisdom." "Well," the harpooner said, "he may have access to God's wisdom, but he doesn't know squat about fishing. How's the bait holding up?"
