This ones good Maria (Fanzant) sent it to me in an email.
Billy Graham was returning to Charlotte after a speaking engagement
and when his plane arrived there was a limousine there to transport him
to his home.
As he prepared to get into the limo, he stopped and spoke to the
driver. "You know" he said, "I am 87 years old and I have never driven
a limousine. Would you mind if I drove it for awhile?"
The driver said, "No problem, have at it."
Billy gets into the driver's seat and they head off down the highway. A short distance away
sat a rookie State Trooper operating his first speed trap. The long black limo went by him doing 70 in a 55 mph zone.
The trooper pulled out and easily caught the limo and got out of his
patrol car to begin procedure.
The young trooper walked up to the driver's door and when the glass
was rolled down he was surprised to see who was driving. He
immediately excused himself and went back to his car and called his
supervisor. He told the supervisor, "I know we are supposed to
enforce the law but I also know that important people are given
certain courtesies. I need to know what I should do because I have stopped a
very important person."
The supervisor asked, "Is it the governor?"
The young trooper said, "No, he's more important than that."
The supervisor finally asked, "Well then, who is it?"
The young trooper said, "I think it's Jesus because he's got Billy Graham for a
chauffer."
