That's a proper Irish joke.

A shy Irish gentleman was preparing to board a plane when he heard 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. Still, the Irish gentleman was too shy to speak to the Pontiff. Shortly after take-off, the Pope began a crossword puzzle.
“This is fantastic,” thought the Irishman. “I’m really good at crosswords. Perhaps, if the Pope gets stuck, he’ll ask me for assistance.”
Almost immediately, the Pope turned to the Irishman and said, “Excuse me, but do you know a four-letter word referring to a woman that ends in ‘unt?”
Only one word leapt to mind.
“My goodness,” thought the Irishman. “I can’t tell the Pope THAT. There must be another word.” He thought for quite awhile, then it hit him. Turning to the Pope, the Irishman said, “I think the word you’re looking for is ‘aunt.’”
“Oh, of course,” said the Pope. “Do you have an eraser?”
