Two old men were sipping brandies in their gentleman's club
when they spotted an elderly man in the corner one of them
vaguely recognized.
"I say", said the first, "Isn't that the pope over there?"
"I really don't know," came the reply. "Why don't you go and
ask him?"
"Good idea." So he made his way over to the elderly gentleman
in the corner.
"Excuse me, sir", he asked, "but are you the pope?"
"Fuck off and die, dickhead!" replied the elderly man irritably.
Taken aback, the club member returned to his friend.
"What did he say?" he asked.
"He said, ‘fuck off and die, dickhead!’"
"Damn. Now we'll never know if he was the pope."
