Not Funny Because It’s True
Today is the much-anticipated date of Pope Benedict XVI’s first trip to the US as pontiff. We as a nation are so happy to see him, that we got our best President on the horn and told him to go give that Pope a ride home from the aerodrome. Which reminds me of a joke:
Pope Benedict VXI just arrived at Andrews Air Force base, and was taking a limousine to his hotel. Since he’d never driven a limo, he asked the chauffeur if he could drive for a while. The reluctant chauffeur pulled over along the roadside, climbed into the back of the limo, and the Pope took the wheel. The Pope then merged onto the highway and accelerated to over 90 mph to see what the limo could do.
Suddenly, the Pope noticed the blue light of the State Patrol in his side mirror, so he pulled over. The trooper approached the limo, peered in through the windows, then said, “Just a moment please, I need to call in.”
The trooper called in and explained to the chief that he had a very important person pulled over for speeding. “How do I handle this, chief?” asked the trooper. “Is it the Governor?” questioned the chief. “No! This guy is even more important!”
“Is it the President?” asked the chief.
“Yes” replied the trooper, “and he’s got the Pope as his chauffeur!”
