Billy Graham was returning home after a speaking engagement. When his plane arrived at the airport, there was a long black limousine to transport him.
Just as he was about to get in the back of the limo, he stopped.
He whispered to the driver, who was holding the door open for him, "You know, I am 87 years old and I have never driven a limousine. Would you mind if I drove it for awhile?"
The driver said, "No problem. Have at it." Billy got into the driver's seat and they headed out to the interstate. Lurking behind an exit ramp a short distance from the airport, a rookie State Trooper was operating his first speed trap. The long black limo went by him doing 70 in a 55 m.p.h. zone. The trooper pulled out in pursuit, easily caught the limo, and walked up to the driver's door. When the glass was rolled down he was very surprised to see who was driving. Trying desperately to maintain his professional attitude, he immediately excused himself and walked back to his car and called his supervisor. "I know we are supposed to enforce the law, but I also know that important people are given certain courtesies. I need to know what I should do because I have stopped a very important person." The supervisor asked, "Is it the governor?" The young trooper said, "No, he's more important than that." The supervisor said, "Oh, so it's the president." The young trooper said, "No, he's even more important than that." The supervisor finally asked, "Well, then, who is it?"
The young trooper said, "I think it's Jesus because he's got Billy Graham for a chauffeur!"
