Subject: Billy Graham
Billy Graham was returning home after a speaking engagement.
When his plane arrived at the airport, there was a long black
limousine to transport him.
Just as he was about to get in the back of the limo, he stopped.
He whispered to the driver who was holding the door open for him
"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 got into the driver's seat and they headed out to the
interstate. Lurking behind an exit ramp a short distance from
the airport, 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 in pursuit and easily caught
the limo. He pulled up behind, and got out of his North Carolina
State patrol car.The young trooper walked up to the driver's
door. When the glass was rolled down he was very surprised to
see who was driving. Trying desperately to maintain his
professional attitude, he immediately excused himself and
walked 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."
