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

Pontiff. Shortly after take-off, the Pope began a crossword
puzzle. "This is fantastic," thought the gentleman. "I'm really

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

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

you're looking for is ‘aunt'."
