The Pope takes the wheel!

While visiting the United States, the Pope is riding in the back of a limo when he gets an idea. "Mind if I take the wheel for awhile?" he asks.
"Sure," the driver says and they switch positions.
The Pope starts driving: ignoring the speed limit, dodging left and right without signaling and cutting people off.
A policeman pulls him over and when the Pope rolls down the window the cop stops dead in his tracks then rushes back car to report in to the station. "Chief," he exclaims. "I just pulled over someone real important."
"Who?" the police chief asks. "A senator?"
"No. Much more important."
"The President?"
"Higher still!"
"Who's higher than that?" the police chief demands.

"I don't know," the policeman says. "But he's got the Pope as a chauffeur."

PS - Granjero = Farmer. Inspired decent performance by Jessica Lange, but grossly fictionalized script. "Will there ever be a morning?" better.

That's funny! I remember the short-lived show but did not remember Leslie Nielsen was the star but I did remember he was Canadian but looked it up just to be sure. Also found this:

Nielsen revealed that, during its initial broadcast, The Swamp Fox was condemned by the Canadian House of Commons for portraying United Empire Loyalists as villains during the American Revolution. Nielsen pointed out the irony that he, a Canadian, starred in the only Disney production banned in Canada.

and a snippet of the song lyrics:

"Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox, tail on his hat... nobody knows where the Swamp Fox at; Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox, hiding in the glen, He'll ride away to fight again. Got no money, got no beds, got no roof above our heads; got no shelter when it rains, All we've got is Yankee brains!"

So much for historical accuracy. Even way back then Carolinians did not think of themselves as yankees. :D

Well, turns out Dennis The Diplomat was there (for real hoping to have a sit-down meeting with the new Pope):

Starting to make Sacha Baron Cohen look like a real slacker.

Therefore your mother was the Swomp Fax.

No one made it through Ma & Pa Kettle except the clinically dead/stoopid. Just a test.

And no need to speak Spanish, Pig Latin is universal in Latin America I've heard. E-I-E-I-O. Can't wait to hear mass in it.
