Chatting With The Pope

[RATTER15]

The plane takes off and after a few minutes the passengers take off their seat belts. The man looks sideways and sees the Pope reaching into his bag to take out a crossword book. Marvellous, he thinks, not only am I blessed with the Pope next to me but he does crosswords and so do I. He notices that the Pope is working his way through the puzzle, and that the Pope is tapping his pencil, thinking. The Pope turns to him and says, "I usually don't talk to anyone on flights, but I wonder if you can help me?" "Anything your Eminence.. What is it?" "Do you know a four letter word that ends in 'u-n-t' that means something associated with women?" The man feels uncomfortable. He thinks and thinks. Finally he says, "The only word I can think of is aunt." The Pope looks at him and asks, "Do you have an eraser?"

Just like the well known one involving the nun who asked for something found in the bottom of I birdcage, four letters ending in IT. Asked for an eraser when GRIT was suggested/

At least he didn't ask for a rubber !

I'm not sure "something associated with women=aunt makes sense as a crossword clue. CU-T obnoxious is CURT...
