If you were on the moon over the weekend you might have missed the news that the pope died.
We won't get into a chat about what a great man he was and all that. You've no doubt heard all that on television and radio and you may have even read it.
Things are out of control, though. The Poles evidently want the pope's heart so they can bury it in Poland.
Now if this doesn't seem gruesome to you, we're not on the same planet. I mean these people aren't in Transylvania, they're in Poland and allegedly civilized.
"Yeah, let's just cut the old geezer's ticker out of his chest, slap it in a box and mail it to Krakow."
What are they thinking? Or are they thinking at all?
I understand that Chopin's heart is in an urn in Poland while the rest of him is in France, but come on, kids, this is the twenty-first century.
Why do they want to have his heart buried in Poland? Cause they know they don't have a prayer of getting the rest of him? Maybe they can hold out for a little finger or toe if worse comes to worst. Or wurst.

That's EXACTLY why I've nominated Tony Bennett as next Pope. When HE dies there will no question where his heart should go.
wurst? does that indicate some country is vying for the Pope's liver?
p.s. is it too soon for pope jokes?
re: Poland's request for The Pope's heart, a polish joke: Why don't we just send them a valentine and sign it, The Pope.
get it? valentine. heart. Pope. fool the Poles.
BTW, is it true the last time they did the pope election thing they got into a stalemate and finally decided to go with The Pole 'cause then they only had to change one letter
or is that Polpe Fiction?
i would like you to dance, take a cha cha cha chance
