During his visit to the United States the 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 summit
was a resounding success. He said 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."
