A woman and her husband are going to Rome for their anniversary so she goes to the beauty parlor to have her hair done. As she's doing her hair the stylist tells the woman how filthy Rome is and tells her how the last time she was there she couldn't wait to leave. Then the stylist asks the woman what airline they are flying to Rome. "American", replies the woman. "Oh, you're going to hate flying American", says the stylist. "The seats are cramped, the flight attendents are old and ugly and it's the worst food of any airline." "What do you plan to do when you get there?", asks the stylist. "Well, replies the woman, hopefully we'll get to go to the Vatican and wouldn't it be something if we actually get to see the Pope?" "Oh geez, says the stylist, the Vatican is WAY over rated. It's nowhere near as beautiful as they say it is. And if you plan on seeing the Pope I hope you take along a pair of binoculars, because you'll be a mile away if he is in town and happens to come to the window." The woman leaves the salon somewhat depressed, but looking forward to her trip anyway.
A month goes by and the woman returns to the salon to have her hair done again. "Hey, how was that trip to Rome?" Asks the stylist. "It was absolutely fantastic!" Says the woman. "When we checked in at the airport they had overbooked the flight so they moved us up to first class for free! The food was excellent, and we had the HOTTEST male flight attendent I've ever seen. He paid me all kinds of attention." "OK, says the stylist, so the flight wasn't so bad, but I'll bet Rome was still dirty." "Actually, says the woman, Rome is in the middle of a clean up campaign and the streets were a lot cleaner than here. The shops were so beautiful! I don't think I've seen a cleaner city!" "Yeah, says the stylist, but how was the Vatican?" "Well, says the woman, the most amazing thing happened! We were standing in line to tour the Vatican when one of the Pope's assistants came up to us and said that from time to time the Pope likes to take people out of the tour line and have a personal audience with them. So he took us to a room and told us to wait there and the Pope would be in shortly. In about 5 minutes the Pope came in. I was so nervous I didn't know what to do! So I bent down to kiss his ring, and when I did he whispered something in my ear!" "Oh my God, says the stylist, what did he say?" The woman says, "He asked me where I got this crappy hairdo!"
