After getting all of Pope Benedicts luggage loaded into the limo, (and he doesnt 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, and Id really like to drive today.
Im sorry, Your Holiness, but I cannot let you do that. Id lose my job! And what if something should happen? protests the driver, wishing hed
never gone to work that morning.
Whos 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, hes a German Pope.)
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, Im 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 Chief, he says to the dispatcher. The Chief gets on the radio and the cop tells him that hes stopped a limo going a
hundred and five.
So bust him, says the Chief.
I dont think we want to do that, hes really important, 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 its God!
The Chief is even more puzzled and curious, What makes you think its God?
Cop: Hes got the Pope as a chauffeur.
