Every day, WND selects the best joke offered up by readers and contributors to

today's offering:
After getting all of Pope Benedict's luggage loaded into the limo, (and he
doesn't travel light), the driver notices the pope is still standing on the curb.
"Excuse me, your holiness," says 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 when I was a cardinal, and I'd really like to drive today."
"I'm sorry, your holiness, but I cannot let you do that. I'd lose my job! What
if something should happen?"
"Who's going to tell?" replies the pope with a smile.
Reluctantly, the driver gets in the back as the pope climbs in behind the
wheel.
The driver quickly regrets his decision when, after exiting the airport, the
pontiff floors it, accelerating the limo to 205 kph. (Remember, the pope is
German.)
"Please slow down, your holiness!" pleads the worried driver, "I'm going to
lose my license – and my job!"
The pope pulls over and rolls down the window as the cop approaches, but
the cop takes one look at him, goes back to his motorcycle, and radios
headquarters.
"I need to talk to the chief," he says to the dispatcher.
The chief gets on the radio and the cop tells him that he's stopped a limo
going 205 kph.
"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?"
Cop: "Bigger."
Chief: "A senator?"
Cop: "Bigger."
Chief: "The prime minister?"
Cop: "Bigger."
"Well," said the chief, "who is it?"
Cop: "I think it's God!"
The chief is even more puzzled and curious, "What makes you think it's
God?"
Cop: "His chauffeur is the pope!"
