You're locked up in the Vatican until you die. That's no life.

I felt the same way when Diana Spencer got engaged to Prince Charles in 1980. If you can't run to the market to pick up some orange juice without a hassle, you've decided in error.

I'm the new pope.

I was the 20th caller on the Buzzy and Happy Morning Show on WTYF, 96.4 FM, and I'm pretty sure they told me that the prize was that I got to be Pope.

So yeah, I'm the new Pope.

I mean the second that they selected you, even before the white smoke, God could just tell you directly.

I think someone is trying to trick you.

I hope you didn't give away all your stuff and buy a 1-way ticket to Rome.

OMG! I have some red Converse All-Stars, but they don't hold a candle to the Pope's new shoes.

You're just like New Coke, here and gone and no one really wants to remember what a debacle that turned out to be.


You'll probably declare every Catholic to keep Kosher or go to Hell, right off.
