Hi Guys,
The Pope was finishing his sermon. He ended it with the Latin phrase,
"TUTI HOMINI" -"BLESSED BE MANKIND."
A women's rights group approached the Pope the next day. They noticed
that the pope blessed all Mankind, but not Womankind.
The next day, after His sermon, the Pope concluded by saying,
"TUTI HOMINI, ET TUTI FEMINI" - BLESSED BE MANKIND AND WOMANKIND.
The next day, a gay-rights group approached the Pope. They said that
they noticed that he blessed mankind and womankind, and asked if he
could also bless gay people.
The Pope said, "Sure." The next day, the Pope concluded his sermon
with: "TUTI HOMINI, ET TUTI FEMINI, ET TUTI FRUITTI."

OK Priyan here we go....Priyan wrote:Didn't get it. Explain please
For want of a approrpiate term (since Man & Woman have already been mentioned) the Pope used the word
Tutti - Fruitti.
Tutti -Fruitti in Italian means Candied Assortment of fruits that is used in confectionery such as Ice Creams / Yoghurt / Custards etc.
The humour is Metaphoric in nature
