The Pope is driving
THE POPE IS DRIVING
After getting all of Pope Francis’ 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 happen?' protests the 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 his decision when, after
> exiting the airport, the Pontiff floors it, accelerating the limo to
> 205 kms.
>
> '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 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 he's
> stopped a limo going 205 kph.
>
> 'So bust him,' says the Chief.
>
> ‘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: ' A senator?'
>
> Cop: 'Bigger.'
>
> Chief: 'The Prime Minister?'
>
> 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!'
