That would be rich coming from the bearded priest...unless.. the beard was indeed a disguise, and concealed a clean-shaven man!<br /><br />Therefore the mystery man is clean-shaven.<br />Austen Ivereigh is clean-shaven. <br />Ergo, the mystery man IS Austen Ivereigh!<br />(Logic ain't what it used to be.)<br /><br />Alternative scenario:<br /><br />...the beard came off easily…<br /><br />Watson: Austen!!! So it WAS you!<br />Austen: Yes!! And I would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for you meddling tecs!<br />Watson: You better pray that Pope Francis is feeling merciful today… <br />Grant Milburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11381331872077276383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508374680487030801.post-53997050771952823122021-12-13T22:38:40.329+00:002021-12-13T22:38:40.329+00:00Did he actually say 'Pope, you are a hairy tic...Did he actually say 'Pope, you are a hairy tick'?

Have you forgotten already? St Paul ...Oh Athenians! Have you forgotten already? St Paul DID visit you. And you were fascinated by him. You said in your best Koine Greek, "What is this spermologos, this babbler trying to tell us?" Your top intellectuals asked him,"What is this new teaching of yours?" And you meant it as a compliment. As St Luke points out, in those days you couldn't get enough new teaching.<br /><br />So St Paul explained his new teaching to you, with reference to a local idol, and quoting Greek writers. And when he had finished you said , "Tell us more!" Really, one would have thought that Pope Francis would be right up your street.<br />Grant Milburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11381331872077276383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508374680487030801.post-20281554180851510802021-12-10T20:24:59.593+00:002021-12-10T20:24:59.593+00:00Dr Watson:

Ha, ha, ha. The beard was real!<br /><br />Well, no. The beard came off easily…<br /><br />"Pope Benedict!" I exclaimed. "What in the world are YOU doing here?"<br /><br />Later Benedict explained everything to me over beers at an outdoor restaurant. <br />"You see, etiquette inhibits me from confronting Pope Francis openly back in Rome. Then when I heard that he was going to visit Greece, I had a cunning plan…"<br /><br />Grant Milburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11381331872077276383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508374680487030801.post-10687168341012068582021-12-10T14:24:18.824+00:002021-12-10T14:24:18.824+00:00They were kisses!They were kisses!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313924227726144496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508374680487030801.post-21034064946504778372021-12-10T12:51:12.131+00:002021-12-10T12:51:12.131+00:00“Mrs HUDSON !!!”
