Danny Pritchard  (Holy Chauffeur Batman)

The Pope had just finished a tour of the Napa Valley and was taking a limo to San Francisco. Having never driven a limo, he asked the chauffeur if he could drive for awhile. Since the chauffeur really didn’t have much of a choice, he climbed in the back of the limo and the Pope took the wheel.

The Pope started to drive and began to accelerate to see what the limo could do. He got to about 90 mph, when suddenly he saw the red and blue lights of a state trooper in his mirror. He pulled over and the trooper came to his window.

The trooper, seeing who it is, said, “Just a minute please, I need to call in.”

“The trooper radioed in and asked for the chief. He told the chief that he had a REALLY important person pulled over and asked how he should handle it.

“It”s not Ted Kennedy again, is it?” asked the chief.

“No sir!” replied the trooper, “This one is more important. “

“Is it the governor?” asked the chief.

“No! Even more important!” replied the trooper.

“Is it the President?” asked the chief.

“No! Even more important!” replied the trooper.

“Well who the heck is it then?” asked the chief.

“I don”t know sir,” replied the trooper, “but he has the Pope as his chauffeur. “

Toastmaster David Rafanowicz suggested that since next week will be Jim Akers last week as Presiding Officer that members bring along their favorite Akers story, just in case we have a spontaneous Celebrity Roast.

Attendance  22 members and no guests

Presiding Officer Jim Akers adjourned the meeting with a decidedly Presidential flourish at approximately 9:13 a. m.

Another great meeting and a good time was had by all!
