  ------- Forwarded foolishness follows -------

A shy gentleman was preparing to board a plane when he heard that the
Pope was on the same flight. 

"This is exciting," thought the gentleman. "I've always been a big fan
of the Pope. Perhaps I'll be able to see him in person."

Imagine his surprise when the Pope sat down in the seat next to him for
the flight. Still, the gentleman was too shy to speak to the Pontiff.

Shortly after take-off, the Pope began a crossword puzzle. 

"This is fantastic," thought the gentleman. "I'm really good at
crosswords. Perhaps, if the Pope gets stuck, he'll ask me for
assistance."

Almost immediately, the Pope turned to the gentleman and said, "Excuse
me, but do you know a four letter word referring to a woman that ends in
'unt'?"

Only one word leapt to mind.

"My goodness," thought the gentleman, "I can't tell the Pope that. There
must be another."

The gentleman thought for quite a while, then it hit him. 

Turning to the pope, the gentleman said, "I think you're looking for the
word 'aunt'."

"Of course," said the Pope.  "Do you have an eraser?"
