Default Pope joke

I thought you might get a grin from this!

After getting all Pope John-Paul II's luggage loaded in the limo (and His
Holiness doesn't travel light), the driver notices that the Pope is still
standing on the curb. "Excuse me, Your Eminence." 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, and I'd really like to drive today."

"I'm sorry but I cannot let you do that. I'd lose my job! And what if
something should happen?" protests the driver, wishing he'd never gone to
work that morning. "There might be something extra in it for you," says
the Pope.

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 Supreme Pontiff floors it, accelerating the limo to 105 mph.

"Please slow down, Your Holiness!!!," pleads the worried driver, but the
Pope keeps the pedal to the metal until they hear sirens. "Oh, my God, I'm
gonna lose my license," moans the driver. The Pope pulls over and rolls
down the window as the patrolman approaches, but the cop takes one look at
him, goes back to his motorcycle, and gets on the radio. "I need to talk
to the Chief," he says to the dispatch. The Chief gets on the radio and the
cop tells him that he's stopped a limo going a hundred and five.

"So bust him," said the Chief.

"I think the guy's a big shot," said the cop.

"All the more reason."

"No, I mean really a big shot," said the cop.

"What'd ya got there, the Mayor?"

"Bigger."

"Governor."

"Bigger."

"Well," said the Chief, "Who is it?"

"I don't know", said the cop, "but he's got the Pope driving for him."

Pope jokes? I can add one here.....

The Pope travelled to Buckingham Palace to visit Queen Elizabeth.

As the two stood on a balcony, overlooking the crowd of faithful fans, but out of earshot, they were chatting about benevolent use of power. The Queen grinned at the Pope and said "I'll bet you $1000 that, with a wave of my hand, I can make this crowd go absolutely wild for a full minute!"

The Pope took the bet and the Queen took a step towards the handrail and gave her signature wave of the hand. The crowd erupted into cheers and screams and it took well over a minute for them to calm back down.

Thinking fast, the Pope turned to the Queen and said "I am impressed but my influence is much more subtle. I'll bet you $10,000 that with a nod of my head, I'll make every Irish Catholic in the crowd go wild for half an hour and everyone else fall silent." The Queen took the bet quickly.

The Pope stood beside the Queen and surveyed the crowd, from side to side. He turned to face the Queen and when she turned to face him, the Pope head-butted her. :lol: :lol: :lol:

A gentleman had been trying for years to meet the Pope. Finally, his wish was granted. When the gentleman approached the Pope he said, "Your Eminence, I am so happy to be given this chance to speak with you and I would like to tell you a joke before I start."

The Pope replied, "Of course my son. Go ahead and tell your joke."

The gentleman continued, "There were these two Pollacks and..."

The Pope interrupted, "My son, do you realize that I am Polish?"

"I'm sorry, Your Eminence, I'll speak slower . . ."
