Pope
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

gentleman, "I can't tell the Pope that. There must be another
word."
The gentleman thought for quite a while, then it hit him.
Turning to the pope, the gentleman said, "I think the word
you're looking for is ‘aunt'."
"Of course," said the Pope. "Do you have an eraser?
