A Texan boards a plane at the last minute. There was only one seat left in first class. After being seated the Texan realizes he is actually seated next to the Pope. The Pope is doing a crossword puzzle and seems to be almost finished yet stuck on the last bit.
Texan: "You seem to be stuck on the crossword puzzle your Holy Imminence may I help you?"
Pope: "Sure my Son. I need a four letter word... it's another name for a woman... it ends in UNT..."
The Texan is sweating now knowing the only word that came first to his mind would surely send him to Hell if he told the Pope.
Pope: "Any ideas Son?" replied the Pope.
By now the Texan is drenched in sweat, trembling and growing pale by every second....the Texan thinks to himself, I gotta tell him, I just gotta tell him... get it over with. His heart is racing critically.
Pope: "C'mon Son what do you think?"
Just as the Texan turns towards the Pope and opens his mouth...The Pope exclaimes...
Pope: "I got it!!!" "AUNT"
The Texan was removed at the final destination by stretcher, mumbling over and over again... "AUNT, AUNT, AUNT......"
