The limo driver
After getting all of Pope Benedict's luggage loaded into the limo
(and he doesn't travel light), the driver noticed that the Pope was
still standing on the curb.
"Excuse me, Your Eminence," said the driver, "would you please take
your seat so we can leave?"
"Well, to tell you the truth," said the Pope, "they never let me
drive at the Vatican, and I'd really like to drive today."
"I'm sorry, but I cannot let you do that. I'd lose my job! And what
if something should happen?" protested the driver, wishing he'd
never gone to work that morning.
"There might be something extra in it for you," said the Pope.
So, reluctantly, the driver got into the back seat as the Pope climbed in
behind the wheel. But he quickly regretted his decision when,
after exiting the airport, the Supreme Pontiff floored it,
accelerating the limo to 105 mph.
"Please slow down, Your Holiness!!!" pleaded the worried driver, but
the Pope kept the pedal to the metal until they heard sirens.
"Oh no, I'm gonna lose my license," moaned the driver.
The Pope pulled over and rolled down the window as the cop
approached, but the cop took one look at him, went back to his
motorcycle, and got on the radio.
"I need to talk to the Chief," he said to the dispatcher. The Chief
got on the radio and the cop told him that he'd stopped a limo going
a hundred and five.
"So bust him," said the Chief.
"I don't think we want to do that; he's really important," said the cop.
Then the Chief exclaimed, "All the more reason!"
"No, I mean really important," said the cop.
The Chief then asked, "Who ya got there, the mayor?"
Cop: "Bigger."
Chief: "Governor?"
Cop: "Bigger."
"Well," said the Chief, "who is it?"
Cop: "I think it's God!"
Chief: "What makes you think it's God?"
Cop: "He's got the Pope for a limo driver!"
