A Pope Joke,..

Pope Benny Ratzinger was out on Romes high street looking for a replacement Popemobile.The old one was getting long in the tooth and way past its prime. John Paul had never take service and oil change stickers seriously.

Now this is before all the austerity stuff was really kicking in,and he fells like he deserves a bit of a treat since hes been doing some great Popeing lately so he wanders into the Mercedes dealership and like a good German Lad,heads directly to the AMG`s.

And there is the one he figures will be a great upgrade.It's white, so it still goes with the uniform,but it's a 700 horse power twin superchaged monster of a car.Not exactly practical,but the Holy Father reckons he could get the back end redone with a nice low profile glass box for waving and blessing.

So he talks to the dealer,who is pretty awestruck that the Pope,..*The FUCKING POPE!* is in his dealership asking about zero to sixty times.

"Whats it's top speed?"
"Is it much of a hassel to disable the speed limiters?"

Then the Pope asks,"Can we go for a test run?" and "Do you think I could drive? The Cardinals never let me up front when I'm working."

Well,the dealer is not going to say no to the Pope,even though company policy is as definative as Leviticus on the subject of clients in the driverseats of the high end performance models.He say's "Sure thing your Holiness" and they head out for a quick spin around Rome.

Well its not long before the special red leather papal slippers are putting far to much torque to the road and then of course **Wha wha,Wha wha,** up pops the Law on a bike from nowhere and he pulls over the crisp white AMG and saunters over to the car with ticket book in hand.

"Drivers licence and regis,......"
The Policeman does a double take,and tries again,but words fail him,Looks at the Driver..is that?....No it can't be,....but,....Looks at the passenger,the driver again.

After a moments confused silence he just raises a finger and says "Excuse me please ,I'll just be one moment."

And so he does the best thing he could do in this situation,call the base and ask them what he should do.

"Hello Chief? Yeah I've pulled over someone really REALLY powerful for speeding and I don't want to cause an incident without talking to someone higher up about it...."

"Who is it?,..Well I'm not sure,but he has *The Pope* as his chauffeur"
