When In Rome...

For all you Internet gambling junkies out there, myself included, you can now wager on the next Pope. Vatican insiders say to look for an older candidate, likely Italian, with the same conservative views as John Paul, II to keep the seat warm during this transitional papacy.

In a similar attempt to profit from the Papal conclave, I have designed a 3-bar hat to commemorate this sacred ritual.

Do you think there are fraternities within the College of Cardinals? If so, do you think their rush is pretty intense? I can just here one of the Italian "Good ole boy" legacy Cardinals meeting the out of towner African rushee...
"Yeah, I mean like, the brothers here are petty laid back. Were, like, dry rushing right now, but it can get pretty crazy here during Lent (wink), if you know what I mean. So, aaah, just like, come one in and take a walk through the house. The GDIs call it the Sistine Chapel. Yeah, like, we got a low country boil going on in the back, so just come on in, meet the brothers, and relax on our fat new leather couches we just got. But hey, great to meet ya bro."

Or my personal favorite. "So let me take you on a tour of the place. I think Michelangelo drew that stuff. But here's the best part of the house." "But this is the dumpster." "I know, Cya later." Or even better, as potential looks at composite pictures, "Hey, see these pictures, you're not going to be in them. Good luck."
