Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I wonder what his drivers license says?

It says, "Dude - you've stopped the Pope!?!?!"

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

strikes him with a hammer (which has the papal seal on it) on the forehead

I liked this detail too. Hope the hammer is really, really small.

There must be two Popes.

I have told you, haven't I, about looking up one of the John Popes, and discovering that, not only are they all out of number order, due to miscounting, there have been two anti-Popes named John? Apparently, the phrase "duelling Popes" is quite historically accurate (the winner got to append anti- to the loser).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It says, "Dude - you've stopped the Pope!?!?!"

"Give me a ticket, go to Hell"

I love the anti-Popes. For years I used to make jokes about how we must never let an anti-Pope come into contact with a Pope, because the resulting explosion would destroy the solar system.

Class I for Infallible. If the popemobile crashes, it is the road that is at fault.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

I wonder what his drivers license says?

But doesn't someone else drive the Popemobile? So that his hands are free for waving?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Sweetie, that's the sign of the cross, not waving.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

There is only one explanation: There must be two Popes.

Schism!!

Sorry. Actually, the reason there were two John XXIII was because the first one was a schismatic one back in the day who was really horrible and corrupt that the modern-day one decided to negate the first one's very existance and pretend he never existed.
