THE POPE DRIVES
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 hesistant 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, all right, 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 pope 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!'
