Meeting the Pope

Int: Is it true you met the Pope?

A: Yeah, he asked me out on a date!

Int: What was his pick-up line?

A: (laughs) He just said, 'Oh, you're from Ireland, Merry Christmas'. No disrespect but he's going to have to work on his pickup line. (laughs) We were in awe with him. Being brought up Irish and Catholic, it was very intimidating for us. I was at a loss of words. -----8 Days, August 2000
