It's official! Pope Francis announces 2015 visit to US

To US? :extrahappy:

Oh. To the U.S.

To Philadelphia? uch: ***- this is getting worse and worse! ***

Sorry Philadelphians. I’m kidding. Or maybe envious. And I was always a big fan of W.C. Fields who had a running gag going with the city.

For the record, Field’s tombstone merely has his name on it … and NOT with the epitath:

“I’d rather be HERE than (in) Philadelphia”.

Though that would have been funny. IMO. :dancing:

Congrats.

FWIW, it had been originally planned by Pope Benedict but then he resigned.

- see my previous post re: Philadelphia. :blushing:

A good pontiff tries to follow Jesus

(whom you will remember from the creed “descended into hell”).

A servant is not greater than his master. Sacrifices are good.

HE (Jesus) didn’t “stay there” of course. And we can be sure a return flight for the pontiff has been booked from Philly.

(I’m in a good mood about this. Maybe TOO good from the looks of things).

I’m sure they’re used to the old joke about “First prize is a week stay in Philadelphia. Second prize is two weeks in Philadelphia.”
