"I said, are you ready to rock?"

"Flight B16 from Rome, ready for takeoff!"

In stitches! LOL

"For those who believe Peter is the Rock, we salute you."

What warehouse do they store it in?

"You and your friend in the bushes take your habatchi grill and get the heck outa here!"

Dangerous Dan, that was hilarious!

Is that line from a movie or is that an original?

Did anybody go to the link and look at the Papal Pictures?

OK guys, the pictures are funny n'at, but seriously, this is your first hierarch! Call me old fashioned, but is it appropriate to demean the office of the Bishop of Rome to humorous cliches? What about respect for the office? Maybe it's just me?

Do you really think these are making fun of the Pope?

(So as to not convey a argumentative tone.)

Not so much making fun, but disrespectful of the office of bishop.

(With a squinched up look on my face because I can't really explain why I find hierarchal humor unfunny)

Alexandr

I meant no disrespect for any clergymen. I apologize if anyone was offended.

Same here. A good joke is hard to resist.

(With a twitching face, because I'm still trying to suppress my laughter at the pic.)

A good sense of humor is necessary for evangelization. Look at JPII.
