What the devil...
Aug. 20th, 2006 05:02 pm... is going on with at the Test match?
On another note entirely, here's a silly joke about the Pope.
So, the Pope is visiting Germany, and being driven along a country road in a high powered Mercedes by chaffeur. The Pope turns to the chaffeur and says "Can I drive for a bit?"
The chaffeur shakes his head: it's his responsibility to keep the Pope safe, and he can't take the responsibility.
The Pope persists. It's always been his dream, since childhood, he says to drive a car as good as this. And the chaffeur, though hesitant, decides that he really can't say no to the Pope. So they switch seats, and the Pope sets off.
And the car reaches fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety, one-hundred...
Shortly thereafter they are caught in a police radar trap, and a policeman pulls them over. The policeman comes over to talk to them, and when he recognises the man in the driver's seat, he turns pale, and goes back to his squad car to talk to headquarters.
"Er... I've got a bit of a problem. I've stopped someone really important speeding, and I don't know what to do."
"Who is it, then? A footballer? Ballack?"
"No... more important than that. Really imoprtant."
"A politician?... the Chancellor? Frau Merkel?"
"No, no, more important than that."
"You surely don't mean President Köhler?"
"No, more important than that" The policeman, by now sweating, lowers his voice "I think... I think I've stopped God."
"Are you crazy? What do you mean, you think you've stopped God?"
"Well, if the Pope's the chaffeur..."
