One day in a pope's life

After getting all of Pope Benedict's luggage
loaded into the limo, (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 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 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 big,"
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 ya got there, the Mayor?"

Cop: "Bigger."

Chief: "The Governor?"

Cop: "Bigger."

Chief: "The President?"

Cop: "Bigger."

"Well," said the Chief, "Who is it?"

Cop:
"I think it's God!"

The Chief is stumped, " You been drinking, John?"

Cop: "No Sir."

Chief: "Then what makes you think it's God?"

Cop: "He's got the Pope as a chauffeur!
