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 smirked. Reluctant to refuse a request from such an important person, the driver relented and the Pope took the wheel. They were speeding down the highway, when a police officer pulled them over. He called the chief 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 officer 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, the mayor?” The officer told him, “No, someone more important than any mayor” Then the chief asked, “Did you pull over a Congressman again?” The officer replied, “No, someone more important than any Congressman” The chief finally asked, “Is it the President?” The officer answered, “No, someone even more important than the President” The chief demanded: “Now who could be important than the President?!” The officer responded, "Hell if I know, but the Pope's driving him!"
