On his trip to the U.S., the Pope was met at the airport by a driver in a brand-new stretch limo.
As the limo pulled on to highway, the Pope called up to the driver, "this a new limo, right? how fast will it go?"
The driver replied, "yes, your holiness, it is new but I have no idea how fast it go."
After a few more miles, the Pope again called up to the driver and said, "would you mind if I drove it?"
The driver replied, "Certainly not, your holiness, if that is your wish."
So the driver stopped the limo and he and the Pope exchanged places. After pulling back on the highway the Pope put the pedal to the floor and the limo tore off down the road.
Within minutes it was pulled over by a motorcycle policeman.
The policeman pulled out his ticket pad, walked up to the car and looked in. He didn't say anything but just when back to his bike and called dispatch.
"I problem here," he radioed.
"What is it," replied dispatch.
"I've stopped a limo for speeding but I don't think I can give it a ticket."
"Why not?"
"I think it's somebody who's really important."
"Who? the mayor?"
"No, I know the mayor. It's not him."
"Is it the governor?"
"No, I've seen him on TV. It's not him."
"Well who is then?"
"I don't know, but he must be really important. He's got the Pope for a chauffeur." |
