It seems that the Pope had granted an audience to the fabled
Seven Dwarfs of "Snow White" fame. Anyway, they meet the Pope
in the
privacy of His Holiness' office.
"Holy Father," says Grumpy, "do you know if there are any nuns
who are dwarfs?"
"Say again?" say the Pontiff.
"Are there any nuns who are dwarfs?" The Pontiff thinks for a
moment, "No," he says, "there aren't any nuns who are dwarfs."
"Are you sure," asks Grumpy. "Absolutely sure," says the Pope.
"There are no nuns who are dwarfs. Ever. In all the world,
there are no nuns who are dwarfs." says Grumpy.
"Yes, my son," responds the Pope.
At that
precise moment the other dwarfs start singing," Grumpy
laid a penguin! Grumpy laid a penguin!"
