BILLY GRAHAM IN FLORIDA
Billy Graham had just finished a tour of the Florida East Coast and
was being driven to the airport in a limousine. Having never driven
a limo himself, he asked the chauffeur if he could drive for a while.
With due respect to his passenger, the chauffeur didn't feel he had
much of a choice, so he got in the back of the limo and let the Rev.
Graham take the wheel.
As Mr. Graham turned onto I-95 he quickly accelerated to about 90 MPH.
Almost immediatley. the blue lights of the State Highway Patrol flashed
in his rearview mirror. He pulled over and a trooper came to his window.
When the trooper saw who the driver was, he said, "Just a moment,
please, Rev. Graham, I need to call in."
The trooper radioed in and asked for the chief. He said, "I have a very
important person in the back of the limo I just pulled over and I need
to know what to do." The chief replied, "Who is it, not Ted Kennedy
again?" The trooper said "No, even more important." "Is it Governor
Jeb Bush?" asked the chief. "No, even more important," replied the
trooper. "It isn't George Bush, is it?" "No," replied the trooper, "even
more important."
"Well, WHO in the WORLD is it?!" screamed the chief. The trooper
responded "I don't know for sure but I think it might be Jesus,
because his chauffeur is Billy Graham!"
