The Pope just finished a tour of the East Coast and was taking a limousine to
the airport. Since he'd never driven a limo, he asked the chauffeur if he could
drive for a while. The reluctant chauffeur pulled over along the roadside,
climbed into the back of the limo and let the Pope take the wheel. The Pope then
merged onto the highway and accelerated to over 90 mph to see what the limo
could do.
Suddenly, the Pope noticed the blue light of the State Patrol in his side
mirror, so he pulled over. As the trooper approached the limo the front window
rolled down and he peered in. Suddenly he said in a flustered voice, "Just a
moment please, I need to call in."
The trooper called his boss and explained that he had just pulled over a very
important person for speeding. "How do I handle this, chief?" asked the trooper.
"Who is it? The mayor?"
"Far more important."
"Is it the Governor?" questioned the chief.
"No! This guy is more important than that!"
"Gosh, is it the President?" asked the chief.
"No! Far more important!"
"Well, who the heck is it?" screamed the chief.
"I don't know, sir," replied the trooper, "but he's got the Pope driving
for him."
