A woman named Linda visited her usual hairdresser, Carl, to get her hair done before her big trip to Rome with her husband. As Carl snipped away with theatrical flair, Linda casually mentioned, \u201cMy husband and I are flying to Rome next week.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carl immediately scoffed. \u201cROME? Why would anyone go there? It\u2019s crowded, dirty, and full of tourists! And don\u2019t tell me you\u2019re flying with that airline\u2014it\u2019s always delayed. And your hotel? Probably tiny rooms and overpriced pasta. Ugh, you\u2019re wasting your money!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Linda stayed calm, smiled politely, and said, \u201cWell, we just wanted to visit the Vatican and maybe get a glimpse of the Pope.\u201d Carl actually laughed. \u201cTHE POPE? You and a million screaming people? Good luck even getting close!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two weeks later, Linda returned to Carl\u2019s salon. He eagerly asked, \u201cSo, how was your awful trip to terrible Rome?\u201d Linda grinned. \u201cActually, the flight was fully booked, so we got upgraded to first class. The hotel had overbooked, so they upgraded us to the presidential suite. And while we were at the Vatican, a guard approached us and said the Pope sometimes meets small groups. We got invited into a private blessing!\u201d Carl was stunned. \u201cWHAT? So\u2026 what did the Pope say to you?\u201d Linda smirked: \u201cHe said, \u2018My child\u2026 who gave you that terrible haircut?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
