The Pope(羅馬教皇) flew into New York for a church meeting. He was running very late and decided to take a taxi. He asked the driver if he could drive him from the airport across town in 15 minutes. The taxi driver, having recognized the Pope, quickly agreed.

However, two miles into the trip the Pope noticed that the taxi driver was driving very very slowly. The driver couldn't concentrate on driving because he was too excited about the Pope riding in his car. Finally, getting very worried and not wanting to be late for his meeting, the Pope asked the driver if he could drive. The driver pulled over and changed seats with the Pope.

The Pope began driving over 100 mph and weaving around to slow traffic to help him gain some time. It wasn't long before a police officer noticed and pulled the taxi over. As the officer .walked up next to the car, he immediately noticed the Pope and quickly turned back to his own car.

The officer radioed to his captain, "Sir, I have a problem here, I think that I have pulled over someone very very important."

" Is it the New York Mayor?" says the captain.

"No, I think this man is more important, "answered the officer.

"More important than the Mayor? Who did you pull

over, the President?" asked the captain.

The officer thought for a second and then answered "No, I think that this man is even more important than the President."

"Who in the whole world can he more important than the President "Said the captain.

"Well, sir, I don't know who he is, but the Pope is his driver.
