The Pope goes for a drive The Pope goes to New York. He is picked up at the airport by a limousine. He looks at the beautiful car and says to the driver, ''You know, I hardly ever get to drive. Would you please let me?'' The driver is understandably hesitant and says, ''I'm sorry, but I don't think I'm supposed to do that.'' But the Pope persists, ''Please?'' The driver finally lets up. ''Oh, alright, I can't really say no to the Pope.'' So, the Pope takes the wheel, and boy, is he a speed demon! He hits the gas and goes around 100 mph in a 45 zone. A policeman notices and pulls him over. The cop walks up and asks the driver to roll down the window. Startled and surprised, the young officer asks the Pope to wait a minute. He goes back to his patrol car and radios the chief. Cop: ''Chief, I have a problem.'' Chief: ''What sort of problem?'' Cop: ''Well, you see, I pulled over this guy for driving way over the speed limit but it's someone really important.'' Chief: ''Important like the mayor?'' Cop: ''No, no, much more important than that.'' Chief: ''Important like the governor?'' Cop: ''Wayyyyyy more important than that.'' Chief: ''Like the President?'' Cop: ''More.'' Chief: ''Who's more important than the President?!'' Cop: ''I don't know, but he's got the Pope DRIVING for him!''
