Two Aussies that had never been overseas before decide to go on holiday to Rome. They are amazed at all the ancient architecture and cultural experiences. Having such a wonderful holiday, they decide to take part in a tour of St Peter's square and the Vatican. Not to feel homesick of course they carry their Esky full of Australian beverages' (beer) on ice.
As they wander around with other tourists; Kevin and Mick's jaws drop at the sights; as they had never seen anything like this in their lives. Two suburban Aussie blokes in the most revered place on earth for Catholics.
Mick decides right there and then that he wants to meet the Pope; and ask for his blessing. Kevin bursts out laughing at Mick's idea.
"Mate that is just never going to happen, you're dreaming mate! said Kevin.
Mick replies " I recon I have just as good a chance as anyone else getting a blessing, just watch me."
Kevin decides to stay put and sits on their Esky full of ice cold beer, sipping on a cold one. Watching Mick making a right Gallah of himself. When suddenly the Pope is seen walking across St Peter's square. Kevin sits watching in amazement at this historic moment; as his best mate is about to be blessed by his holiness.
Quickly making himself look presentable, Mick coolly walks over to the Pope, extends his hand to shake hands with the pope. The pope stands there unresponsive for second and then suddenly Kevin notices the Pope make the sign of the cross. Absolutely stoked at this awesome sight, Kevin has a big idiot grin on his face.
"Well bugger me!" Kevin exclaims. That Pope is bloody awesome. I might go and try my luck too.
Kevin stands up, holding his tinny ( a can of beer) and walks towards Mick saying," Good on ya mate; that was bonza". "I am gonna try my luck now"
But Mick looks down in the mouth and says, "Nah mate, he didn't bless me".
"Are you kidding me?" says Kevin "What was that I saw then; with the Pope making the sign of the cross then?"
"Nah, you misunderstood mate" replies Mick, "What he really said as he pointed was, you, your mate and your Esky, piss off".
