Priceless .

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

rookieState Trooper operating his first speed trap.

The long black limo went by him doing 70 in a 55 mph zone.

The trooper pulled out

and easily caught the limo
and he 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!'

That is great BR!!! :clap:

My faves:

Technology has given us many new ways to be inconsiderate of our fellow man. A few simple rules of etiquette, however, could make the world a better place. For instance:

- Please don?t text and drive. If I?m to be mowed down by a distracted driver I?d rather they be distracted by something important, like applying mascara or fighting with the bee that just flew in the window, not ?What R U doin? LOL!?

- Please keep your voice down while chatting on your cell phone in a restaurant. As I contemplate my serving of spaghetti and meatballs, I don?t want to hear about your intestinal parasites. I?m not interested in the erogenous zone your girlfriend discovered last night. And I really don?t want to know the dog has developed a carnal relationship with the stuffed Wall-E you bought your kid.

- Please clean up your e-mails before forwarding them. Wading through all those headers of previous recipients is like wearing somebody else?s underwear.

- Please check with Snopes before forwarding the e-mail about President Obama wanting to implant chips in your children?s brains. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO SOUND LIKE BILL O?REILLY?

- Please don?t create half a dozen different user accounts and comment on a blog. We know all your personalities, Sybil.

- Please don?t walk around the grocery store with one of those ridiculous Bluetooth receivers stuck in your ear. You are not Lt. Uhura. Starfleet is not waiting to hear which brand of butter pecan ice cream you?ve chosen for tonight?s big Lawrence Welk blowout on PBS.

We know you're a reformed sinner now, BR! You will never again dine out while surreptitiously checking your phone for updated football scores. :floor:

I guess I'll just pretend that I need to go to the bathroom every five minutes.:funn:JK!

On second thought, maybe Jill will stroll by without stopping and say the two numbers in the Georgia Tech score. : )

Nix that thought. I promise I'll be good.

That being said, I will leave the table and step outside if daughter or Mom's nursing home or the burglar alarm monitoring service calls.

now now, emergency calls are always acceptable. football scores are not emergencies.
