This one’s visual at the end:

A policeman in Rome stops a teenager on a scooter for speeding. “What’s the hurry?” he says.

“Please,” the kid asks, “I must deliver this pizza to the Pope in Vatican City!”

The cop thinks briefly. “All right. But the next time I see you, you have to give me half of whatever he tips you.” The kid speeds off.

The following week, the cop sees the delivery boy again. “Hey! Where’s my half of the tip?”

The kid says, “Oh, right.” _(Put your palm sideways, hand at head level, move your hand through the air down to stomach level. As in, the first half of a sign-of-the-cross blessing.)_
