There’s a joke about the Pope coming to visit New York. His entourage had ordered a stretch limo for him. As he approached, they held the rear door open for him, but the Pontiff said that it had always been an ambition of his to drive in New York himself. So he got into the front seat, and everybody else piled in back. Well, being used to Italian driving habits, it wasn’t too long before a policeman pulled the limo over. It was an Irish cop, which isn’t too surprising considering the demographics, and the minute he approached the driver’s window he recognized the Holy Father, stammered and bowed, and apologized for having bothered him. He went back to the patrol car shaking his head in awe. His partner said, “Who was the big cheese?” The first cop answered, “Well, I couldn’t see who was sitting in back, but I’ll tell you this: the Holy Father himself was his driver!”
