The Pope is on a visit to the United States for a conference, riding in a limo to Washington DC The driver asks him if he needs anything. "Well, to tell you the truth," says the Pope, "they never let me drive at the Vatican, and I'd really like to drive today." "I'm sorry but I cannot let you do that. I'd lose my job!" protests the driver. "Who's going to tell?" the Pope smiled. So the driver relented and the Pope sat at the wheel, while his driver got in the back. They were speeding down the road, when a policeman pulled them over. He called headquarters reporting a speeding limo. The chief instructs, "Well what are you doing, write a ticket and file a report! We got a quota to fulfill!" The policeman responds, "I'm afraid I can't do that, sir. There is someone very important in this car" The chief asked, “Who's in the limo, a Congressman?” The policeman told him, “No, someone more than a Congressman” Then the chief asked, “Did you pull over a celebrity again?” The policeman replied, “No, someone more important than any celebrity” The chief finally asked, “Is it the President?” The policeman answered, “No, someone even more important than the President” The chief demanded: “Now who could be important than the President?!” The policeman responded, "The hell if I know, but the Pope's driving!"
