Too Important to Bust

Pope Benedict arrived in New York, and waited on the curb as his luggage was loaded into the limo.

'Excuse me, Your Holiness,' says the driver,' Would you please take your
Seat so we can leave?'

'My son,' says the Pope, 'they never let me drive at the Vatican when I was a cardinal, and I'd really like to drive today.'

Not wanting to deny the Pontiff, the driver reluctantly got in the back as the Pope climbed in behind the wheel. The driver quickly regrets his decision when, after exiting the airport, the Benedict floors it, accelerating the limo to 105 mph. In no time, they heard sirens.

The Pope pulls over and rolls down the window as the cop approaches, but the cop takes one look at him, goes back to his motorcycle, and gets on the radio.

'I need to talk to the Chief,' he says to the dispatcher. The Chief gets on the radio and the cop tells him that he's stopped a limo going a hundred and five.

'So bust him,' says the Chief.

'I don't think we want to do that, he's really important,' said the cop.

The Chief exclaimed, ' All the more reason!'

'No, I mean really important,' said the cop with a bit of persistence.

The Chief then asked, 'Who ya got there, the Mayor?'

Cop: 'Bigger.'

Chief: 'The Governor?'

Cop: 'Bigger.'

Chief: 'The President?'

Cop: 'Bigger.'

'Well,' said the Chief, 'Who is it?'

Cop: 'I think it's God!'

The Chief is even more puzzled and curious, 'What makes you think it's God?'

Cop: 'He's got the Pope as a chauffeur!'
