The Pope was a man that knew humor ans loved the world. I'm not Catholic but but I had lots of respect for the man.  

Actually, in memoriam of the Pope, here are a couple of Pope jokes:

One night the Pope flies into New York for a hush hush meeting; no publicity, no reporters. He's met at the airport by a limousine driver who proceeds to take him into the city. Being a New Yorker, after a while the driver rolls down the window and starts to chat with the Pope. Finally the driver asks "Tell me, your Popeship: Now that you're Pope, is there anything you could do before that you can't now?" The Pope answers, "You know, I used to love to drive and now I get chauffeured everywhere. I really miss driving a car!" So the chauffeur pulls over and they switch places.

The Pope drives into New York City and he's driving like a friggin' maniac, speeding, going the wrong way down one way streets, up on the sidewalks. The limo gets pulled over by a motorcycle cop. The Pope rolls down the window, the cop takes one look, walks back to his motorcycle and calls the precinct. "Sarge" he says "I've got a problem. I've pulled over somebody really important and I don't know what to do." "Who is it?" asks the sargeant. "Is it Bloomberg?" "No, he's more important than Bloomberg," answers the cop. "Is it Pataki?" asks the sargeant. "Nope, not Pataki" answers the cop. "Good Lord! It's not Bush, is it?" "No it's not Bush." "Then who the hell is it?" asks the sargeant. "I'm not sure" answers the cop "but he must be important. He's got the Pope driving for him!"

Pope joke #2:

The Pope has been invited to the first Papal visit to England in 500 years. He's at a reception with the Queen who turns to him and says "You know, Your Holiness, with one wave of my hand I can make 500 Englishmen cheer for ten minutes." She gives that little Royal wave and everyone shouts "Huzzah!" "That's very good" answers the Pope "but with one wave of MY hand I can make 5 million Irishmen cheer for a week!" "Really?" says the Queen, "how?" So he smacks her in the face.
