    It's Friday...
    
    Yesterday on NPR, I heard that it was the Pope's birthday...made
    me wonder *how* he celebrates...
    
    Any thoughts?

    He probably celebrates by doing something goofy like appearing on
    Alf.(which he did is a guest shot last Monday)

611.8Tongue firmly in cheekFRECKL::HUTCHINSIf you want it, go after it...Fri May 19 1989 15:517
    Does he have a birthday party and get presents...what *do* you get
    the Pope who has everything?
    
    ...do the Pope and the Cardinals wear silly party hats and play "pin the
    tail on the pontiff"?
    
    Yup, it's Friday...
611.9for you Tom Lehrer fans...HACKIN::MACKINJim Mackin, Aerospace EngineeringFri May 19 1989 16:422
  And when things get really punch-happy, the pope and all of the cardinals The
Vatican Rag.
611.10and if he drinksNOETIC::KOLBEThe dilettante debutanteFri May 19 1989 16:532
      Would a Pope get Pickled in a Pub?
611.11GEMVAX::KOTTLERFri May 19 1989 17:081
    Vatican rag? I'd like to see them do one of those cardinal numbers.

    Instead of the host they would hand out little pieces of birthday
    cake while saying "The body and blood of Christ".

    The notes .o thru .12 may have been written with casual humour
    in mind; but, to me, they came thru in a derisive and mocking
    manner.  I'm not amused.

    I am not sure but I would guess that at least one of the replies
    .0 thru .12 was written by a person of the Catholic faith. The
    Pope is a human being like the rest of us. Let's not confuse a
    little poping of fun as being an insult to one's religious views.

    I think this one needs to be closed until we can sort out how much
    levity at some religion's expense is permissable.  Let's work on
    it in 15.*
