Aircraft dope

Aircraft dope is a substance painted onto fabric-covered aircraft to tauten the skin. Airplane glue was to be applied only in well-ventilated areas. Breathing the fumes made people dopey acting stupid, foolish, and clumsy.

The term dope is generally used today to refer to anything that gets people high either pharmaceuticals or the evening news.

Dopers may appear stupefied, confused, muddled, befuddled, disorientated, groggy, or muzzy.
Yup, it’s the very same aircraft dope Uncle Sam used on the cloth surfaces of his biplanes in the Great War.

Aircraft dope shrinks cotton and linen fabric and provides a watertight seal.

Pope rope a dope

Pontiff and a boxing term for leaning against the ropes taking hits and only swinging to land a good punch. Mohammad Ali was famous for the maneuver. Used together the two meanings define Pope Benedict.

When the Pope, holed up in the Vatican, says he is sorry every which way he can think of for reading words like, "violence," "sword," "threats of death," "evil," "murder" and "Jihad" when quoting from an obscure medieval manuscript where a Byzantine King is criticizing Muslim violence of that era, while Muslim leaders and fanatics from around the globe take their repeated punches at the Pope, murder a nun, bomb churches, demonstrate and burn effigies of the Pope in the streets, call for his execution, and threaten the Pope and Christians everywhere with death, the sane World, everyone else, observing it all scratches their heads in awe. A smart Pope is doing a rope a dope.
I watched it all on TV, the Pope apologizes while Muslims everywhere repeatedly attack him, murder a Nun and threaten the Church and I think, "Ya, right, just look, wow, its the pot calling the kettle black! I understand the Islamic radicals now. I like this Pope, he's our "Pope rope a dope!"
