Real important guy
The Pope had just finished a tour of the East Coast and was headed to the airport in a limousine.
Curious about what it was like to drive one, he asked the chauffeur if he could take the wheel. The chauffeur hesitated, but eventually agreed and climbed into the back.
Once on the highway, the Pope started enjoying himself a little too much — 70… 80… 90 mph.
Before long, flashing lights appeared in the mirror.
A state trooper walked up to the limo, took one look inside, and said, “Uh… just a moment.”
He went back to his cruiser and radioed his chief.
“Chief, I just pulled over somebody really important.”
“Who is it? The governor?”
“More important.”
“A senator?”
“More important.”
“The President?”
“More important.”
“Well who is it?”
The trooper says, “I don’t know… but the Pope is his chauffeur.”
