Billy Graham
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 a while?"
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 he got out of his patrol car to begin the 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 said,
"Oh, so it's the president."
The young trooper said,
"No, he's even 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 chauffeur!"
