After getting all of Pope Benedict's luggage loaded
|
|
|
|
|
into the limo, (and he doesn't travel light), the driver notices
|
|
|
|
|
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! What if something should
|
|
|
|
|
driver, wishing he'd never gone to work that morning.
'Who's going to tell' 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
|
|
|
|
|
when, after exiting the airport, the Pontiff floors
|
|
|
|
|
it, accelerating the limo to 205 kms/hr. (Remember,
the Pope is 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 going to 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
|
|
|
|
|
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 he's stopped a limo going 205 kph.
|
|
|
|
|
'I don't think we want to do that, he's 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 do you have there,
|
|
|
|
|
the mayor?'
Cop: 'Bigger.'
Chief: ' The President?'
Cop: 'Bigger.'
Chief: 'The Prime Minister Cameron?'
Cop: 'Bigger.'
'Well,' said the Chief, 'who is it?'
Cop: 'I think it's God!'
The Chief is even more puzzled and curious,
|
|
|
|
|
'What makes you think it's God?'
Cop: 'His chauffeur is the Pope!'
Give me a sense of humor, Lord, Give me the grace to see a joke, To get some humor out of life, And pass it on to other folk.
