The bartender sneers at the tiger, but ignores him. So the tiger walks over to the lady, and as he said he would do, attacked her and had himself a fresh supper.

The tiger walks back to the bar and says to the bartender, "Now, I'd hate to do the same thing again, so gimme that beer I want!"

He then called the Jewish couple forward and asked the husband his wife's name. "Penny," he replied. Again St. Peter was furious! "Penny!

Subject: Sunday driver?

The Pope decided to come to town, and the local hosting committee thought it should make him feel as welcome as possible. So it found the biggest, most luxurious limousine in town and sent it out to the airport to pick up the Pope. When the Pope arrived, he got into the back of the limousine, and the driver proceeded to the highway to take him on into town. As the limousine drove on down the highway, the Pope noticed that, indeed, it was a very nice, comfortable car. It was beautifully appointed, and he could see out the window that he was driving fast, but he heard no road noise at all. After a while the Pope decided that he really wanted to try out he car for himself. He asked, and the driver pulled over and parked on the shoulder. The driver got in the back and the Pope got in the driver's seat and pulled back on the highway. The limousine was a powerful car in addition to being beautiful, and in no time at all the Pope was driving way over the speed limit. This caught the attention of a rookie police officer waiting in the local speed trap. The officer pulled over the limousine and walked up to the left side of the car. The officer took two looks inside the limousine and immediately ran back and jumped into his squad car. He picked up his radio and breathlessly called into headquarters. He was so nervous that all he could stammer out was "You can't believe whom I've pulled over!" The sergeant kept trying to get the young officer to calm down and talk slowly, but it didn't work, and finally the gruff old sergeant bellowed into the radio, "Who the heck is it?!" The officer, momentarily shocked, blurted out, "I don't know, but the Pope's driving him around town!"
