Medieval History
The Pope and Gordon Campbell are on the same stage in front of a huge crowd.
The Pope leans towards Mr. Campbell and said, "Do you know that with one little movement of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display, like those believers in your 2010 Olympics, but go deep into their hearts and they'll forever speak of this day and rejoice!"
Campbell replied, "I seriously doubt that. With one little wave of your hand? Show me"
So the Pope backhanded him.

Medieval History
A little political joke.
The Pope and Gordon Campbell are on the same stage in front of a huge crowd.
The Pope leans towards Mr. Campbell and said, "Do you know that with one little movement of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display, like those believers in your 2010 Olympics, but go deep into their hearts and they'll forever speak of this day and rejoice!"
