#Laughs The Pope met with the College of Cardinals to
discuss
a proposal from Shimon Peres, the former leader of Israel.

"Your
holiness," said one of the Cardinals, "Mr.

Peres wants to
determine
whether Jews or Catholics are superior, by challenging you to
a golf match."
The Pope was greatly disturbed, as he had never held
a golf club in his
life.

"Not to worry," said the Cardinal,
"we'll call America and talk to
Jack Nicklaus.

We'll make him a
Cardinal, he can play Shimon Peres...

We can't lose!" Everyone
agreed it was a good idea.

The call was made
and, of course, Jack was
honored and agreed to play.

The day after the match, Nicklaus
reported to the Vatican to inform the
Pope of his success in the
match.

"I came in second, your Holiness,"
said Nicklaus.

"Second?!!" exclaimed the surprised Pope.

"You came in second to
Shimon
Peres?!!"

"No," said Nicklaus, "second to Rabbi Woods."
