The Pope has just finished a tour of Napa Valley and is
taking a limousine to San Francisco. Having never driven
a limo, the Pope asks the chauffeur if he might drive
for a while. Well, the chauffeur doesn't have much choice,
so he climbs in the back of the limo and the Pope takes
the wheel.
The Pope proceeds down Silverado, and starts accelerating
to see what the limo can do. He gets to about 90 mph, and
suddenly he sees the red and blue lights of a CHP cruiser
in his mirror. He pulls over and the trooper comes to his
window.
The trooper, seeing who it is, says, "Just a moment
please, I need to call in."
The trooper calls in and asks for the Chief. He tells the
Chief that he's got a REALLY important person pulled over,
and asks how to handle it.
"It's not Ted Kennedy again, is it?" asks the
Chief.
"No Sir!" replies the trooper, "This guy's
more important."
"Is it the governor?"
"No! Even more important!"
"Is it the PRESIDENT?"
"No! Even more important!"
"Well, WHO THE HECK is it?" screams the Chief.
"I don't know, Sir," replies the trooper, "But
he's got the Pope as his chauffeur!
