> 'Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty.

> You're crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you getting there?'

> 

> 

> 

> 'We're taking Continental,' was the reply.

> 'We got a great rate!'

> 

> 'Continental?' exclaimed the hairdresser. '

> That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight

> 

> 

> 

> 'We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome's Tiber River

> called Teste.'

> 

> 'Don't go any further. I know that place.

>  Everybody thinks its gonna be something special and exclusive, but

> it's really a dump, the worst hotel in the city!  The rooms are small,

> the service is surly,and they're overpriced.

> 

> So, whatcha' doing when you get there?'

> 

> 

> 

> 'We're going to go to see the Vatican and we hope to see the Pope.'

> 

> 

> 'That's rich,' laughed the hairdresser.

> 'You and a million other people trying to see him.

>  He'll look the size of an ant.

> Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're

> A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The

> 

> 'It was wonderful,' explained the woman, 'not

> only were we on time in one of Continental's brand new

> 

> And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a $5

> million remodeling job, and now it's a jewel, the finest

> hotel in the city They, too, were overbooked, so they

> apologized and gave us their owner's suite at no extra

> 

> 

> 'Well,' muttered the hairdresser, 'that's

> all well and good, but I know you didn't get to see the

> Pope.'

> 

> 

> 

> 'Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured

> the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder, and

> explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the

> visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his

> private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me.

> 

> Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through

> the door and shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few

> 

> 

> 'Oh, really! What'd he say ?'

>

> He said: 'Where'd you get the sh itty Hairdo?'
