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.”
