The Ten Commandments

During his visit to the United Statesthe Pope met with President Clinton.
Instead of just an hour as scheduled, the meeting went on for two days.
Finally, a weary President Clinton emerged to face the waiting news media.


The President was smiling and announced the summitwas a resounding
success. He said that he and the Pope agreed on 80% of the matters they
discussed. Then Mr. Clinton declared he was going home to the White House
to be with his family.


A few minutes later the Pope came out to make his statement. He looked
tired, discouraged and was practically in tears. Sadly he announced his
meeting with the President was a failure. Incredulous, one reporter asked,
"But your Holiness, President Clinton just announced the summit was a
great success and the two of you agreed on 80% of the items discussed."
Exasperated, the Pope answered, "Yes, but we were talking about the Ten
Commandments."
