Jokes Home : Tricky : Puzzle
Bill is going on a trip, and when he gets on the plane, he hears the Pope is booked on the same flight. "This is exciting," thinks Bill. "I've always been a big fan of the Pope. Perhaps I'll be able to see him in person."
Imagine his surprise when the Pope sits down right next to him! Bill is awestruck and speechless.
Shortly after take-off, the Pope begins a crossword puzzle.
"This is fantastic," thinks Bill. "I'm really good at crosswords. Perhaps, if the Pope gets stuck, he'll ask me for assistance."
Sure enough, just minutes into his first puzzle, the Pope turns to Bill and asks, "Excuse me, but do you know a four letter word referring to a woman that ends in 'unt'?"
Only one word leaps to Bill's mind.
"My goodness," he thinks, "I can't tell the Pope that word! There must be another word for a woman that ends in U-N-T..." Bill thinks for a while, and then it hits him. Turning to the Pope, Bill says: "I think the word you're looking for is AUNT."
"Ah! Of course!" says the Pope. "Would you happen to have an eraser?"
