Donuel, your Pope's chauffeur joke needs translation into Canadian.

The Pope is visiting Alberta. At the end his official visit, the Canadian government gives him a chauffeur-driven car to see the natural beauty of the Canadian Rockies. Twenty kilometres west of Calgary, he says to the driver:

"Oh, let me get behind the wheel. I'm from the tiny Papal States, and I always have to sit in the back of the Popemobile, even though I am such a passionate driver!" So the chauffeur swaps seats with the Pope.

After a few kilometers, the Pope is pulled over by an RCMP constable. The Pope winds the window down and the Mountie immediately runs back to his car. From there he calls his superior:

"Staff sergeant, I have a problem. I have a speeder here."

"What is the problem? Just issue him a ticket!"

"I think he is a big shot, though."

"Does he out-rank me?"

"Staff, I am afraid that is the case."

"Is he higher ranked than the prime minister?"

"Staff, I believe that is the case."

"Who is he then?"

"I don't know, but the Pope is his chauffeur."
