Pope in action The Pope left a meeting in New York City with little time to catch his plane. He hailed a cab and told the driver, "I will give you one hundred bucks if you can get me to the airport in ten minutes." "That is impossible," replied the cabbie. "OK, two hundred bucks." "I'm sorry, it is impossible." "All right, I will give you five hundred dollars, but you must let ME drive," said the Pope. The cab driver agreed, climbed into the back seat of the cab, the Pope got behind the wheel and drove off. Soon they were doing 60 mph, 80 mph,100 mph through Manhattan. Finally they were pulled over by the police. The policeman took one look into the cab, returned to his patrol car and called the precinct. "Captain," he said, "I just stopped a speeder, but I can't arrest him. He is much too important." "Is it the mayor of New York City?" asked the captain. "Much more important," said the patrolman. "Is it the governor of New York?" "Much more important," said the patrolman. "Well, is it the President of the United States?" "Much more important," said the patrolman. Flabbergasted, the captain finally asked, "OK, who is it?" "I don't know who he is," said the patrolman, "but the Pope is his driver." Nothing but Jokes by Nauman Faridi
