A Cop Gets The Surprise Of His Life When He Pulls Over The Pope’s Limo

Police officers are among the first responders. It's been claimed that working as a police officer consists of long stretches of boredom punctuated with terrifying moments. I believe a majority of police officers would concur that this evaluation is correct.

As you can see in the joke that follows, a police officer may be humorous as well. It involves a police officer who stopped a Pope-owned limousine. He ultimately received more from that traffic encounter than he had anticipated.

The driver for the Pope shows up at an airport to pick up His Holiness. The chauffeur realizes that the Pope hasn't entered the back of the limousine after loading his luggage.

“Pardon me, Your Holiness,” says the chauffeur, “Could you please get in so we can leave?”

“No,” says the Pope, “they never let me drive at the Vatican. I’d really like to drive today.”

“I’m sorry but there’s no way I can allow that. I’d lose my job! And what if something happens to you?” protests the chauffeur.

“I’ll pay you double,” says the Pope.

After giving it some thinking, the chauffeur decides to go along and gets into the back as the Pope takes the wheel. When the Pontiff floors it and speeds up the limo to 105 mph after leaving the airport, the man immediately regrets his choice.

Please take it easy, Your Holiness!

The Pope ignores the frantic chauffeur's pleadings. The man eventually hears a siren.

“Oh no, I’m going lose my license,” shrieks the chauffeur.

As the cop draws near, the Pope stops and rolls down the window. But after giving him a quick glance, the officer returns to his squad car and picks up the radio.

He says to the dispatcher, "I need to talk to the Chief." When the Chief picks up the radio, the cop reports that he has stopped a limo that was traveling at 105 miles per hour.

“So give him a ticket,” says the Chief.

“I don’t think we should do that, he’s a pretty important guy,” said the cop.

The Chief exclaimed, “All the more reason to book him then!”

“No, I mean really important,” said the cop.

The Chief then asked, “So who is it then, the Mayor?”

“Bigger.”

“Governor?” The Chief asked.

“Bigger.”

“Well,” said the Chief, “Who is it?”

“I think it’s God!” the cop exclaimed.

“What makes you think that?”

“Well, for one thing, he’s got the Pope as a chauffeur!”
