The Pope

After getting all of Pope Benedict's luggage loaded into the

limo, 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, 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. "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, but the cop takes one look at him, goes back to his

motorcycle, and gets on the radio."I need to talk to the Commander," he says.

The Commander gets 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 important,"

said the cop.

The Commander exclaimed," All the more reason!"

"No, I mean really important," said the cop with a bit of

persistence.

The Commander then asked, "Who ya got there, the Mayor?"

Cop: "Bigger."

Commander: " The Premier?"

Cop: "Bigger."

Commander: "The Prime Minister?"

Cop: "Bigger."

"Well," said the Commander, "Who is it?"

Cop: "I think it's God!" The Commander is even more puzzled and curious, "What makes you

think it's God?" Cop: "He's got the Pope as a chauffeur."
