Paparazzo's New Friend
Bellringer told Paparazzo about a man he knew from his childhood days who had become a Jesuit priest. This priest had risen thru the Church hierarchy meteorically, and was now Pope Insolent XXXXIII. Paparazzo sighed "But how can I, a simple anti-aircraft gunner, become a Jesuit and a priest?" So Bellringer told him a bit about his background. Insolent started life as a librarian who had emigrated to a far-off country called New Zealand. He'd obviously been a favourite friend of Bellringer's, because Bellringer produced a song he had written from his knapsack. It was about a collection of weird people who must have worked at the library where he was employed at the time and was called 'All the Happy People'. However Bellringer swore Paparazzo to secrecy after he'd read the poem, which (he said) must not be revealed under the direst form of torture (which was a shame, because it was very funny and very subversive.) Pope Insolent had chosen his name well!
