A priest and a rabbi were driving brand new cars down a one-way street in New York when they recognized each other. After pulling over and exchanging some pleasantries, they decide to have a drag race in their new cars.
They start racing, and as luck would have it, the rabbi got the jump on the priest and got way ahead of him. The rabbi noticed that a traffic light ahead was turning red. He slowed down and came to a stop at the intersection.
In an attempt to catch up to the rabbi, the priest kept floor-boarding the gas pedal. Suddenly, he saw the rabbi stopped ahead. The priest slammed on the brakes but it was too late. He skidded into the back of the rabbi’s car.
Both cars were a mess, but luckily neither the priest nor the rabbi was hurt.
Officer O’Malley shows up to investigate the accident. He notes that one of the drivers is wearing a priest’s collar and the other one is wearing a yarmulke (skull cap) and prayer shawl.
O’Malley goes over to the priest and takes him aside. “Father,” he says, “the fact that you’re a priest and I’m a Catholic doesn’t matter. I’m going to have to be absolutely impartial in this matter.”
The priest says, “I understand. Do your duty, Officer O’Malley.”
O’Malley then asks the priest, “Father, how fast was that damn Jew backing up when he ran into you?”
