there's an interesting relationship between the people of IL and WI...
folks from IL refer wo WI people as Cheeseheads, and WI folks refer to
people from IL as FIBs...(f'ing Illinois Bastards).
On a tour of Wisconsin, the Pope took a couple of days off his
itinerary to visit the East coast near Green Bay on an impromptu
sightseeing trip. His 4X4 Popemobile was driving along the beautiful
shorelines and crashing surf of Lake Michigan when there was an
enormous
commotion heard just off the headland.
They rushed to see what it was
and upon approaching the scene the Pope noticed just outside the surf,
a
hapless man wearing a Bears football jersey, struggling frantically to
free himself from the jaws of a twelve foot sturgeon At that moment a
speedboat containing three men wearing Packer football tops roared into
view from around the point. Spontaneously, one of the men took aim and
fired a harpoon into the sturgeon's ribs, immobilizing it instantly.
The
other two reached out and pulled the Bears fan from the water and then,
using long clubs, beat the sturgeon to death. They bundled the
bleeding,
semi conscious man into the speed boat along with the dead sturgeon and
then prepared for a hasty retreat, when they heard frantic shouting
from
the shore.
It was of course the Pope, and he summoned them to the beach.
Upon them reaching the shore the Pope went into raptures about the
rescue and said, "I give you my blessing for your brave actions. I had
heard that there were some bitter hatred between the people of
Wisconsin
and Illinois, but, now I have seen with my own eyes this is not true. I
can see that your society is a truly enlightened example of true
harmony
and could serve as a model on which other states could follow." He
blessed them all and drove off in a cloud of dust. As he departed, the
harpoonist asked the others, "Who was that???!""That," one answered,
"was his Holiness the Pope. He is in direct contact with God and has
access to all God's wisdom." "Well," the harpoonist replied, "he knows
nothin bout Sturgeon hunting. How's that bait holding up or do we need
to get another one?"
