Non-offensive

In the interest of remaining non-offensive toward my many, many Catholic friends (and if I had a church, it would in fact be the Church of Rome); and because, really, being on one’s deathbed is not funny, no matter how unreal the person may seem; and because I’m still somewhat ashamed of the terrible “Pope JohnPaulGeorgeRingo” jokes I made way back when we were running through popes like mints in a candy dish; and because, in the end, I really don’t want to lose the respect of many of you who would be rightly hurt and offended by such a thing, I have decided not to Photoshop a T-shirt that says, “I trach’ed the Pope and all I get was this lousy T-shirt.” In fact, I think I won’t even mention it.
