Humor: Driving Miss Daisy, NOT!

The Pope Joke

A friend of mine works for a limousine service. His boss told him the Pope was coming to town, and my friend was asked to serve as his chauffer.

So my friend went all out to clean up his limo to make it look really nice. First he washed the limousine by hand, and then he waxed and buffed it. He also washed all of the windows, and polished the chrome. Finally, he detailed the interior so the limo looked almost new. He even replaced the headlights.

When my friend arrived at the airport at appointed time, the Pope was really impressed. "This limousine looks really nice!" the Pope said. "I spent all day cleaning it for you," said my friend.

Suddenly, with a twinkle in his eye, the Pontiff turned to my friend and grinned. "You know," he said, "I've ridden in limousines like this all over the world, but I've never had the chance to drive one. You don't suppose I might have the opportunity to get behind the wheel of this beautiful vehicle do you?"

My friend hesitated for just a minute. Then he decided it would be alright. Nodding to the Pope, he quickly slid over to the passenger's side of the car, and the Pontiff got in.

Well, they were cruising down the freeway when suddenly the Pope saw the flashing blue lights of a police car right behind them. The Pope pulled the limo over, and a police officer approached the vehicle. Preparing to issue a citation for failing to signal when making a lane change, the police officer looked at the driver, and then he squinted hard. "Ah, just a minute," he said, and he rushed back to his patrol car.

"Sarge," the officer yelled into his radio. "I think I just pulled over a VIP!" "So, what makes you so sure?" the sergeant replied. "Is he the mayor?" "No, I think he's more important than that," said the officer. "O.K. is he the governor?" "No, I think he's more important than that," the officer said again. "Well then, is he the President?" "No, I think he's more important than that," the officer replied once more.

"Well who is he then? Is he God?" yelled the sergeant. "I don't know," said the policeman, "All I know is that be must be REALLY important, because the Pope's his chauffeur!"

Note: In the spirit of good fun and Christian denominational sisterhood, this joke is intended to amuse and entertain, not offend.
