LOL!!! That's so neat! I have really enjoyed hearing the stories today about this great Pope!
I can't speak from any other experience because I was born in Feb of 1979, just a few short months after he became Pope (JPII was elected by the conclave of cardinals in October of 78), so for my generation it is like having FDR as president for the early baby boomers and maybe those at the tail end of the WWII generation--all they knew for as long as they could remember...
There are many stories about the Pope's sense of humor and love of laughter. I'm looking forward to hearing them in the coming days as events of his life are replayed in the media.
