Pope John Paul II was leaving a church he was visiting. A limousine was waiting for him. The limo driver, was very honored to have the Pope as his passenger. The Pope asked the driver a simple request:
"You know, I never get a chance to drive and I miss it. Do you think you could let me take the wheel for awhile, back to the Vatican?"
The driver was a little uneasy but JPII insisted so out of reverence, the driver let the Pope take the wheel. The exhilaration on the Pope's face was incredible. And as he drove, he increased speed... until he was zooming along the highway at 500 MPH!!!!
Of course this attracted the attention of the federal police who could not get him to pull over. So the officer sped up, pulled up to the driver's window in an attempt to make him pull over, and could not believe it! It was the Pope himself speeding at such a speed!
The police officer didn't know what to do so he radioed headquarters for help.
"You're not going to believe this," he said. "There's a limousine speeding like you wouldn't believe and I don't think I should pull it over."
Stunned, his chief asked, "Why not?!?"
"Because it's a very important someone in the car."
"Who? Berlusconi? A government official?"
"No. More important than that!"
"A king?"
"NO! Even more important!"
"Who then? Tell me!"
The police officer told his chief, "Well I can't see in the back windows, but I assume it's GOD HIMSELF! He's got the POPE as His limo driver!"

Well played.
