PopeOn the pope's last visit to New York, he was riding in his limo and he asked the driver if he could take the wheel for a while. The driver thought this was an odd request but be stopped and changed places with the pope. The pontiff pulled onto the freeway and began to open it up. After a while he was doing 90 mph and saw the blue flashing lights in the rear mirror. When the officer pulled up and looked over the situation he radioed his sergeant for instructions. " Sarge, I have a very important person pulled over for speeding and I don't know what to do. " "Who is it, Kennedy again?" asked the superior officer. "No! This one is really important!" "Who is it? The chief of the UN?" "No really important!" "The Mayor?" "Even more important than that!" "The governor?" "Sarge, you won't believe this. I don't know who he is, but he must be damned important! He has the pope as a chauffeur." |
