Got an Eraser?

Loading ...One morning, a gentleman boarded a plane headed for Rome. Within several minutes of finding his seat, a rumor began to circulate about the plane that the Pope would be on this very flight.
Being Catholic, and therefore a rather large fan of the Holy Father, he of course hoped that the Pope’s seat would be in close proximity to his so that they might be able to converse on their way to the Holy City of Rome.
No sooner had this thought passed through his mind, the “Man in White” entered the plane, and took his seat next to the man who had so prayed for his company.
Surprisingly, the Pope removed a book of crossword puzzles from the inner folds of his robes, flipped several pages and started filling in various words.
The gentleman thought to himself, “Oh man, I…I am so good at crossword puzzles! I hope he gets stuck on a word and asks me for help!” Again, no sooner than the thought passed through his mind, the Pope turned to him and asked, “You wouldn’t happen to know of another word for woman that ends in “unt”, would you?”
The man pondered, completely at a loss for words. “I can’t tell the Pope that word!!” he thought. His mind raced, and finally it came to him. “I think the word your looking for is, a-u-n-t, ‘aunt’.”
The Pope shifted in his seat, stared at the paper once more, and without even so much as the blink of an eye asked, “You wouldn’t happen to have an eraser, would you?”
