The Pope’s Last Will and Testament
April 7th, 2005 at 1:10 pm by Preston Taylor HolmesThe details of Pope John Paul II’s last will and testament are now being released to the public. One of the more interesting items was that the Pope seriously considered resigning in 2000 after he had already become ill and turned 80 years old.
One unexpected passage has leaked out, however, and I was as shocked as anyone to read about this detail in the Pope’s will:
And to Preston Taylor Holmes… I leave him with this promise: When he dies, on his death bed, he will receive total consciousness.
So I’ve got that going for me.

How funny…he left the same thing to me.

Why didn’t you post the rest of that passage? The people deserve to know the truth. The whole thing read like this:
And to Preston Taylor Holmes… I leave him with this promise: When he dies, on his death bed, he will receive total consciousness.
I also leave to Preston, my favorite tennis shorts. I haven’t washed them since our magical night in Havana in 1972. Also to Preston, I leave the jar of ear wax I had been saving for him. It’s a strange fetish, but I know it’ll mean the world to him. I also would like to leave Preston my letter from Jesus, which can be found behind my picture of Liza Minelli, under Bono’s sunglasses. And tell that suck-up Bono he can have his damn glasses back. Amen.
