(12,436 posts)38. The correct translation
Not everyone is as fluent in Latin as I, so here's the translation, for the record:
Dr. Strange
Can I call you "Unusi" for short?
The cardinals said, "Joe, tell us who you want to be the next Pope."
So I said, "Sure. I'll think about it."
So I thought, and I thought, and I thought. I couldn't come up with anyone. I took a phone book and tossed it on the floor. It randomly opened to a name: Dr. Strange!
So I've got to ask you, do you want to be Pope? You'll get free cable, three square meals a day, and hot-and-cold-running holy water. Phone me, Unusi. My number: Et-cum-Spiri-220.
The Pope.
(I've been wanting to use the Pope's phone number joke since I first thought of it in third grade.)
