The Pope had just finished a tour of the Napa Valley and was taking a 
limousine to San Francisco. Having never driven a limo, he asked the 
chauffeur if he could drive for a while.   Well, the chauffeur felt he 
didn't have much choice, so he climbed in the back of the limo and the 
Pope took the wheel. 
 
The Pope proceeded down Silverado, and started accelerating to see what 
the limo could do. He got to about 90 mph, and suddenly saw the red & 
blue lights of CHP in his mirror. He pulled over and the trooper came 
to the window. The trooper, seeing who it was, said, "Just a moment 
please, I need to call in." 
 
The trooper called in and asked for the chief. She told the chief that he 
had pulled over a REALLY important person, and asked how to handle it. 
 
"It's not Ted Kennedy again is it?" replied the chief. 
 
"No, Sir!" replied the trooper, "This guy's more important." 
 
"Is it the Governor?" said the chief. 
 
"No! Even more important!" replied the trooper. 
 
"Is it the PRESIDENT???" replied the chief. 
 
"No! Even more important!" said the trooper. 
 
"Well WHO THE HELL is it?" screamed the chief. 
 
"I don't know, sir," replied the trooper, "but he's got the Pope as his 
chauffeur."
