Cute Joke
The Pope was visiting DC and President Bush takes him out for an afternoon on the Potomac...sailing on the Sequoia, the presidential yacht.

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

Secret service guys start to launch a boat, but 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 and 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 New York Times carries the story, The banner headline is:

BUSH CAN'T SWIM
