When my GM had an audience with the Pope

[Cartoonist]

My grandmother was a Catholic, and Polish, so you can guess how she felt about Pope JP2.

One day she was walking down the street and was annoyed at the crowd that was milling about. She had no idea what was going on as she elbowed her way through.

She was a tiny old lady, so the people gave way out of courtesy. When she broke through, she found herself face to face with the Pope.

Words were said, but she had no recollection of them as the wonder of the encounter filled her with awe. You could see her glow every time she recounted the story.

I post this, not to make any point, but just to contrast this with Kim Davis.

3. That really filled me with hopes of reading an interesting story.

Now my whole day is ruined

4. In all fairness,

his or her grandma had a nice story.

5. Actually, it is sort of fun

but I've decided my day has been ruined and nobody can talk me out of it

7. Me also. I wish people would spell stuff out.

Speaking in acronyms can be so confusing. It's main purpose seems to be to drive other people's post count up, trying to determine what was meant.

6. I met Vince DeLuca once. He is the mayor of my town. He made me smile. Then property taxes

were raised. I don't smile so much now.

8. When John Paul visited the Polish commnity in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, it was much as you described.

You were fortunate to know your grandmother.
