3646 Pope joke

The Pope, on a vist to the United States, had landed at the airport, and was sitting in the VIP lounge while all his not inconsiderable luggage was loaded into the papal limousine.
Finally, his appointed chauffeur came into the lounge and informed His Holiness that everything was ready for the Pope to get into the car and proceed with the journey.
They walked together down to the limousine park, but the Pope was unwilling to get into the car. The chauffeur again suggested to the Pope that they should be getting along now, or they might miss their next appointment. Still the Pope was reluctant, and he made it clear to the chauffeur that he, himself, would like to drive the car. The chauffeur protested - Your Holiness, you are the Pope, I am the driver! Still the Pope insisted - he wanted to drive, he was never allowed to drive, and he really really wanted to mix it in the New York traffic. This put the chauffeur on the spot - how - as a good Catholic - could he refuse an order from the Pontiff: but at the same time, suppose the Pope floored the pedal, who would be in trouble: the chauffeur was responsible for the limo, his job was on the line - what a choice! Eventually, the chauffeur was persuaded that indeed His Holiness was going to take the wheel, so they set off.
All went well until they hit the freeway, when the chauffeur's worst fears were realised. The Pope hit the gas, and a very small number of miles later there was the inevitable siren from a motorbike patrolman, and the limo was flagged down.
The patrolman approached the car, the Pope rolled down the window, and the patrolman stepped back a few paces and got onto his dispatcher.
"Uh - boss -I have a problem here, I've pulled up a car speeding on the freeway."
"Well, book him."
"It ain't that simple, I've pulled someone important."
"Oh Jeez - you ain't pulled the Mayor?"
"No - bit bigger than that."
"Not the governor?"
"No, no - bigger than that."
"Aw, c'mon, the Pres is always in a motorcade."
"Not the Pres - bigger."
"Whaddaya mean bigger. The Pres is the Pres."
"I think I've pulled God!"
"Are you on some medication! How come you think you have pulled God?"
"Well, He's got the Pope as his limo driver."
