I LOVE these. Funnier the longer I think about them. Almost serious or useful then just completely out of left field.

Does the pope shit in the woods?

My all time favorite. Sometimes I go with "is a bear Catholic?"

Only if the Bear is Catholic

I said this at the root of the thread, but since we are talking about variations of this malaphor, I use:

Does a bear shit in the pope's hat?

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

And if no one hears it happening, is he Catholic?

"I don't know, CJ! I keep telling you I'm not Catholic!"

What’s the pope part supposed to say?

[–] sjmarf@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

I've heard it as "Is the pope catholic?"

[–] expletivedeleted@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Does the pope wear a funny hat? Does a bear shit in the woods?

When in the woods alone, would you rather run into a pope or a bear?

[–] expletivedeleted@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

Women would choose a bear, normally. I thought we went through this a year or so ago.

And a bear in a funny hat?! How could you not want a hug?!
