THE LIMO DRIVER
After getting all Pope John-Paul II’s luggage loaded in the limo (and His Holiness doesn’t travel light), the driver notices that the Pope is still standing on the curb. “Excuse me, Your Holiness.” says the driver, “Would you please take your seat so we can leave?”
“Well, to tell you the truth,” says the Pope, “They never let me drive at the Vatican, and I’d really like to drive today.”
“I’m sorry but I cannot let you do that. I’d lose my job! And what if something should happen?” protests the driver, wishing he’d never gone to work that morning. “There might be something extra in it for you,” says the Pope.
Reluctantly, the driver gets in the back as the Pope climbs in behind the wheel. The driver quickly regrets his decision when, after exiting the airport, the Supreme Pontiff floors it, accelerating the limo to 105 mph.
“Please slow down, Your Holiness!!!,” pleads the worried driver. But the Pope keeps the pedal to the metal until they hear sirens. “Oh, my, I’m gonna lose my license,” moans the driver. The Pope pulls over and rolls down the window as the patrolman approaches, but the cop takes one look at him, goes back to his motorcycle, and gets on the radio. “I need to talk to the Chief,” he says to the dispatch. The Chief gets on the radio and the cop tells him that he’s stopped a limo going a hundred and five.
“So bust him,” said the Chief.
“I think the guy’s a big shot,” said the cop.
“All the more reason.”
“No, I mean really a big shot,” said the cop.
“What’d ya got there, the Mayor?”
“Bigger.”
“Governor?”
“Bigger.”
“Well,” said the Chief, “Who is it?”
“I don’t know”, said the cop, “but he’s got the Pope driving for him. I’m afraid it must be GOD!”

The colorful Limousine at the top of the page is a “Charity on Wheels” operation. Click this link to learn more about this rolling humanitarian work of art. Now this is MY kind of limo~! You can also “like” Children’s Healing Art Project on facebook. OR better yet, get your car painted by them if you live or drive your car out west~! Here are 2 close-ups I think are fun.
I have seen some really cute tooth fairy notes on facebook. Here are some of my favorites. I hope you will laugh like I did~! The first has wonderful details. I love the hearts in the top corners. It is adorable how the girl’s name and other words are divided into 2 lines. It looks like Trinity was going to be sleeping in her brother’s room and was afraid the tooth fairy would not be able to find her. My favorite part is the bottom right corner. Trinity asks the tooth fairy to “write back”. I asked her parents if the tooth fairy was faithful to correspond. Yes~! I am glad to report that she did~!
In this second note, it seems as if the tooth fairy missed a stop. I don’t remember why. I happen to know that the tooth fairy in this zip-code is amazing. She has great attention to detail, and I am in awe of her. I love that the girl’s mother put this note onto her facebook page. I’m sure her heart was breaking a bit (the inner cringe) as she encouraged Angelica to write this note. I think it shows that even the most stellar tooth fairies can have bumps in their road. Maybe you have to know how nearly perfect this one is to fully appreciate the note…. to me she became even cooler than before I saw the note. I love when people can go public with something like this. I admire her~!
This third one has me baffled but amused. Bacon? I might have considered asking for chocolate. But, I am guessing that the money has a higher value per tooth than the price of bacon. I don’t actually know the going price for a tooth these days.
Now for the funny note FROM the tooth fairy. This mom put her sassy note on her facebook page, and thought a few friends and family would get a chuckle. She now has a fan page with over 5000 “likes. Not everyone thought it was funny. But, the room has been kept cleaner~! I like it~! I laughed~! (non-stopmom.blogspot.com., facebook.com/nonstopmom)
