Inference

hiorta

A quiet gentleman was preparing to board a plane when he learned that the Pope was on the same flight.
"This is exciting," thought the gentleman. "I've always been a big fan of the Pope. Perhaps I'll be able to see him in person."
Imagine his surprise when the Pope sat down in the seat next to him for the flight. The gentleman though, was reluctant to speak to the pontiff.

Shortly after take-off, the Pope began a crossword. "This is fantastic," thought the gentleman. "I'm really good at crosswords. Perhaps, if the Pope gets stuck, he might ask me for assistance."
Almost immediately, the Pope turned to the gentleman and said, "Excuse me, but do you know of a four-letter word referring to a woman that ends in 'unt'?"

Only one word leapt to mind...My goodness, thought the gentleman, I can't tell the Pope that, there must be another one. The gentleman thought for a while, then it dawned.
Turning to the pope, he said, "I think you're looking for the word 'aunt'."

"Of course," said the Pope. "Do you have an eraser?"
