The Pope


So the Pope dies, and goes to Heaven.  Of course, God 
willingly greets him, and says, "You may have access 
to anything here in Heaven, as you have been one of the 
good popes." "Thank you very much," says the Pope.  "I 
would like to study the Bible in its original language.  
I want to see how it was originally written."

So the Pope spends the next several years studying the 
original languages of Latin, Hebrew, Aramaic, etc.(Why not 
spend several years?  He had the time.) Finally, the Pope 
starts reading the Bible.  He starts with the modern 
translations, goes back to the King James version, and 
continues going back to each preceding translation.

Finally one day there is a loud scream heard from the Pope's 
room.  "R" he yells.  "Somebody left out the letter R!"  The 
word was supposed to be 'celebrate'!"
