The Pope and the Queen of England are on the same stage 
at an Anglican and Catholic commemoration of the Anglo-
Irish accords. The crowd is huge - thousands. Her Majesty 
and His Holiness, can't help but have a little rivalry, both 
being heads of churches and all.

The Queen says to the Pope, "Did you know that with just 
one little wave of my hand I can make every English person 
in the crowd go wild?"

He doubts it, so she shows him. Sure enough, the royal-
gloved wave elicits rapture and cheering from every 
Englishman in the crowd. Gradually the cheering subsides.

The Pope, not wanting to be outdone by someone wearing a 
worse frock and hat than he, considers what he could do. So 
the Pope says to the Queen, "Your Majesty, that was 
impressive. But did you know that with one little wave of MY 
hand I can make every Irish person in the crowd go crazy 
with joy? Their joy will not be a momentary display like that 
of your subjects, but will go deep into their hearts, and they 
will speak forever of this day and rejoice. They will recount it 
to their grandchildren and they to their descendants."

The Queen seriously doubts this, and says so. "One little 
wave of your hand and all Irish people will rejoice forever? 
Show me."

So the Pope slaps her.
