Roman Holiday

 

Joe Biden visited with the Pope this week which prompts me to repeat the following post: A fellow was in the barber chair and told the barber he was planning a trip to Rome. there then ensued the following exchange:

B - Where do you plan to stay?

C - We are booked into the Excelsior Hotel.

B - It's overpriced and over rated - you won't like it. what else are you doing?

C - We plan to have dinner at Alfredo's famous restaurant.  B - That place is a tourist trap - you won't enjoy it.               C - And we have arranged to have an audience with the Pope.                                                                                   

B - You will be behind the ropes, you won't get near him.

Fast forward one month and C is back in the chair.

B - How was your trip?

C - Great - the Excelsior had flowers in our room and the concierge couldn't have been nicer. Alfredo himself greeted us and we had a private audience with the Pope.

B - I'm very impressed. What did the Holy Father say to you?

C - He asked me where did I get the lousy haircut. tjs
