The Pope was visiting Liverpool, getting bored of driving up and down hope street in his popemobile he decides to take a walk along Otterspool Prom and contemplate his next sermon and what to put in it.
At that moment he spots what’s clearly a Kopite bobbing up and down in the River waving for help, helpless the Pope watched as a black fin broke the surface and started to home in on the Kopite!
From out of no where a speedboat appeared, crewed by two handsome Evertonians, one stood up and holding a spear gun shot the shark and dragged it along side the boat before clubbing the Shark to death, the other helped the sodden Kopite aboard their Craft.
The Pope seeing this, is amazed and waves the two Heroes to the shore. As they tie up along side the shore the Pope speaks..
“since I came to this City Ive heard nothing but division, division on politics, division on religion, division on football, division on race and yet, the compassion and thought you have shown to your fellow man has me dumbstruck”
With that he blessed the two lovely lads and wished them well.
As he set off in his Popemobile, one of the lads turned to his mate.. “who was that?”
“don’t you know?” replied his friend, “that was the Pope, top boy, he is in direct chat with the big fellah up stairs”
“oh!” stated his friend “tell you what, lad, he might be a top bloke but he knows all about shark fishing”
