After getting all of Pope Benedict's luggage loaded into the limo
at the airport (and he doesn't 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 I'd really like to
drive today."
"I'm sorry, Your Holiness, but I cannot let you do that. I'd
lose my job! And what if something should happen?" protests the
driver, wishing he'd never gone to work that morning.
"Who's 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, he's 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, I'm 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 he's stopped
a limo going a hundred and five.
"So bust him," says the Chief.
"I don't think we want to do that. He's really important," says
the cop.
The Chief exclaims, " All the more reason!"
"No, I mean really important," says the cop with persistence.
The Chief then asks, "Who ya got there, the Mayor?"
Cop: "Bigger."
Chief: " The Governor?"
Cop: "Bigger."
Chief: "The President?"
Cop: "BIGGER!"
Well," asks the Chief, "Who is it?"
Cop: "I think it's God!"
The Chief is flummoxed: "What makes you think it's God?"
Cop: "He's got the Pope as a chauffeur!"
