Just For Fun Entertainment

 

This is my inaugural issue of a series I am going to call ‘Forwarded Fun.’ I get tons of stuff that is forwarded to me via e-mail. Most of which is the Forward — Forward –Forward… variety, you get the idea. I’ve decided to extract the good stuff out of these e-mails and post it here in a more readable format for my readers.

With all the news lately about the hurricanes hitting the southern states, we shouldn’t forget that Michigan has its share of devastating weather too. There are a LOT of you with Michigan connections so I am sure you will feel as I do

Attached is a photo illustrating the damage incurred at a friend’s home from a storm that passed through a couple of weeks ago. It really makes you cherish what you have, and reminds us not to take things for granted.

After getting Pope Benedict’s entire luggage loaded into the limo (and he doesn’t travel light), the driver notices that the Pope is still standing on the curb.

“Excuse me, Your Eminence,” says the driver, “Would you please take your seat so we can leave?

“Well, to tell you the truth,” says the Pope, “they never let me drive at the Vatican, and I’d really like to drive today.”

“I’m sorry but I cannot let you do that. I’d lose my job! What if something should happen?” protests the driver, wishing he’d never gone to work that morning.

“There might be something extra in it for you,” says the Pope.

Reluctantly, the driver gets in the back as the Pope climbs in behind he wheel. The driver quickly regrets his decision when, after exiting the airport, the Supreme Pontiff floors it, accelerating the limo to 105 mph.

“Please slow down, Your Holiness!!”, pleads the worried driver, but the Pope keeps the pedal to the metal until they hear sirens. “Oh, my God, I’m gonna lose my license,” moans the driver.

The Pope pulls over and rolls down the window as the cop approaches, but the cop takes one look at him, goes back to his motorcycle, and gets on the radio.

“I need to talk to the Chief,” he says to the dispatcher. The Chief gets on the radio and the cop tells him that he’s stopped a limo going a hundred and five.

“So bust him,” said the Chief.

“I don’t think we want to do that, he’s really important,” said the cop.

The Chief then asked, “Who ya got there, the Mayor?”

Cop: “Bigger.”

Chief: “Governor?”

Cop: “Bigger.”

Chief: “Senator?”

Cop: “Bigger.”

“Well,” said the Chief, “Who is it?”

Cop: “I think it’s Jesus!”

Chief: “What makes you think it’s Jesus?”

Cop: “He’s got the Pope for a limo driver!”
