The date is somewhere in the future. The Vatican boasts its first Black Pope. Theories start to circulate that he has left his "roots" behind. So he contacts his PR consultants, Rove, Arbusto and Killmore, who recommend he put on a display of athletic prowess. They suggest some one-on-one at the Vatican basketball court. The Pope agrees, but does not want to take the chance of being shown up, so he challenges a medium-built Caucasian for the display. As the cameras roll and the whistle blows, the Caucasian takes the ball, spins around the Pontiff, jumps to an amazing height and stuffs the ball down the net, leaving the Pope completely agast. What, do you suppose, was the headline the next day? (Answer Below)
