President Hinckley had just finished conducting a devotional at BYU and
was being driven by a limousine back to Salt Lake City. Having never
driven in a limo, he asked the chauffeur if he could drive for a while.
The chauffeur didn’t have much of a choice really, so he climbed into the
back of the limo. President Hinckley proceeds to hop on to I-15 and
starts accelerating to see what the limo could do. Well, he get to
about 80 mph and WHAM! The lights of the state Highway Patrol appear
in his mirror.
President Hinckley pulls over and the trooper comes to his window.
The trooper, seeing who it was, says, “Just a moment please, uh, sir, I
need to call this in.”
The trooper radios in and asks for the chief. He tells the chief,
“I’ve got someone REALLY important pulled over and I need to know what to
do.”
The chief replies, “It’s not the governor is it?”
The trooper replies, “No, even more important.”
“The president?” he asks.
“No, keep going…” replies the trooper.
“Well, who in the world is it?” demands the chief.
“I don’t really know for sure….” Says the trooper, “but he’s got President
Hinckley as a chauffeur.
