| Pope Benedict
After getting all of Pope Benedict's luggage loaded
into the limo, (and he doesn't travel light), the driver
notices that the Pope is still standing on the curb.
"Excuse me, Your Holiness," says the driver,
"Would you please take your seat so we can
leave?"
"Well, to tell you the truth," says the Pope,
"they never let me drive at the Vatican when I
was a cardinal I liked to drive, and I'd really like to drive today."
"I'm sorry, Your Holiness, but I cannot let you
do that. I'd lose my job! And what if something
should happen?" protests the driver,
wishing he'd never gone to work that morning.
"Who's going to tell? Besides, there might be
something extra in it for you says the Pope
with a smile.
Reluctantly, the driver gets in the back as the
Pope climbs in behind the wheel. The driver
quickly regrets his decision when, after
exiting the airport, the Pontiff floors it, accelerating
the limo to 105 mph.. (Remember,
he's German.)
"Please slow down, Your Holiness!" pleads
the worried driver, but the Pope keeps the
pedal to the metal until they hear sirens. "Oh,
dear God, I'm gonna lose my license -- and
my job!" moans the driver.
The Pope pulls over and rolls down the window
as the cop approaches. The cop
takes one look at him, goes back to his motorcycle
gets on the radio.
"I need to talk to the Chief," he says to the
dispatcher.
The Chief comes on the radio and the cop
tells him that he's stopped a limo
going a hundred and five.
"So bust him," says the Chief.
"I don't think we want to do that, he's really
big”,said the cop.
The Chief exclaimed," All the more reason!"
"No, I mean really important," said the cop
with a bit of persistence.
The Chief then asked, "Who ya got there,
the Mayor?"
Cop: "Bigger."
Chief: " The Governor?"
Cop: "Bigger."
Chief: "The President?"
Cop: "Bigger."
“Well," said the Chief, "Who is it?"
Cop: "I think it's God!"
The Chief is stumped, " You been drinking,
John? "
Cop: " No Sir."
Chief: " Then what makes you think it's
God?"
Cop: "He's got the Pope as a chauffeur |
