Thanks for this post Chaplain. Its a keeper for me.

Here is one FYI

The Pope is visiting DC and President Bush takes him out for an afternoon on
the Potomac...sailing on the presidential yacht, the Sequoia.

They're admiring the sights when, all of a sudden, the Pope's hat
(zucchetto) blows off his head and out into the water.

Secret service guys start to launch a boat, but Bush waves them off, saying
"Wait, wait. I'll take care of this. Don't worry."

Bush then steps off the yacht onto the surface of the water and walks out to
the Holy Father's little hat, bends over and picks it up, then walks back to
the yacht and climbs aboard. He hands the hat to the Pope amid stunned
silence.

The next morning, the Washington Post carries a story, with front page
photos, of the event.

The banner headline is "Bush Can't Swim."
