A most-important figure at the wheel ...

After getting all of Pope Francis' luggage loaded into the limo at the airport, the driver noticed that the Pope was still standing on the curb. "Excuse me, Your Holiness," said the driver, "Would you please take your seat so we can leave?"

"Well, to tell you the truth," says the Pope, "they never let me drive at the Vatican, and I'd really like to drive today." The driver replied, "I'm sorry, Your Holiness, but I can't let you do that. I'd lose my job. What if something should happen?" protests the driver, wishing he'd never gone to work that morning.

"Who's going to tell?" asks the Pope with a smile.

Reluctantly, the driver got into the back as the Pope took the wheel. The driver quickly rued his decision when, after exiting the airport, the Pontiff floored it, accelerating the limo to 130 mph. "Please slow down, Your Holiness," pleaded the worried driver, but the Pope kept the pedal to the metal until they hear sirens.

"Oh, dear God, I'm going to lose my license -- and my job," moaned the driver.

The Pope pulled over and rolled down the window as the cop approached, but the cop took one look at him, went back to his motorcycle, and got on the radio. "'I need to talk to the Chief," he says to the dispatcher.

The Chief got on the radio and the cop told him that he's stopped a limo going 130 mph. "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 do you have there, the Mayor?" The cop responded, "Bigger."

Chief: "A senator?" Cop: "Bigger."

Chief: "The President?" Cop: "Bigger."

"Well," said the Chief, "Who is it?" The cop replied, "I think it's GOD!"

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

The cop answered, "His chauffeur is the Pope!"
