The Pope is visiting Washington, D.C., and President Bush
takes him out for an afternoon on the Potomac, sailing on
the Presidential yacht, the Sequoia.

They're admiring the sights when, all of a sudden, the Pope's
hat (zucchetto) blows off his head and out into the water.

Secret Service guys start to launch a boat, but president
Bush waves them off, saying, "Wait, wait. I'll take care of this.
Don't worry."

Bush then steps off the yacht onto the surface of the water
and walks out to the Holy Father's little hat, bends over picks
it up, then walks back to the yacht and climbs aboard. He
hands the hat to the Pope amid stunned silence.

The next morning, the headlines in the New York Times,
Boston Globe, Atlanta Constitution, Washington Post,
Boston Herald, Buffalo News, Houston Chronicle,
Milwaukee Sentinel-Journal, Minneapolis Tribune,
Denver Post, Albuquerque Journal, Los Angeles Times,
Philadelphia Inquirer, San Francisco Chronicle and of course
CNN all proclaim:

"Bush Can't Swim!"
