    The Pope has just landed at the Vatican airport after a tour  of  the
    United  States.   As  the reporters crowd around him, one asks, "Your
    Holiness, can you describe the  receprion  you  received?   Were  the
    Americans friendly and courteous?"
 
    "It was a very pleasant trip," the Pope replies.  "The Americans  are
    a  very friendly people, and I was treated royally for the most part.
    There were two things, however, that I didn't like."
 
    "What were the things you didn't like?"
 
    "The first one is all the Polish jokes the Americans tell.  They  all
    make  fun  of  the  Polish people and call us stupid.  But we're not,
    really.   Chopin,  the  great  composer  and  pianist,  was   Polish.
    Paderewsky, the great diplomat, was Polish.  Kosciusko, the engineer,
    who helped the Americans win their Revolution,  was  Polish.   And  I
    myself  am  very  well educated.  I speak seven languages, and I have
    risen to the highest position in the Catholic Church."
 
    There is silence for a moment.  Then  someone  asks,  "What  was  the
    other thing you didn't like?"
 
    "M & M's."
 
    "But they're very good!  Why didn't you like them?"
 
    "They're too hard to peel."
