is the Pope Catholic?

obviously, of course, definitely yes, are you fucking kidding me?

This nonsense retort to a stupid or rhetorical question is often mixed with another popular expression - "does a bear shit in the woods?" - to produce variants like "is the bear catholic? does the Pope do it in the woods?"

"Did she come on to me?" he said. "Hey, is the Pope Catholic? Is Bill Gates rich? Of course she came on to me."
