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 7 in a 55 mph zone. The trooper pulled out and
easily caught the limo and 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!"
