A gentleman is preparing to board a plane when he hears that the Pope is on the same flight.

Imagine his surprise when the Pope sits down in the seat next to him.

Shortly after take-off, the Pope starts a crossword puzzle. Almost immediately, the Pope turns to the gentleman and says, “Excuse me, but would you know a four-letter word ending in ‘u-n-t’ that refers to a woman?”

“Oh my god!” the man thought. I can’t tell the Pope that. There must be another word.” The gentleman thinks for quite a while, then it hits him. Turning to the Pope, the gentleman says, “I think the word you’re looking for is ‘Aunt’.”

“Oh, of course!” the Pope exclaims. “Do you have an eraser?”
