PLAYING IT SAFE

Two cars collided at an intersection. When the dust settled, a shaken man stepped out of each wreck. One of them was a catholic priest, the other a rabbi. Miraculously none them were more than slightly scratched. Rejoiced the rabbi:

“Brother, this was a divine act! We could have been dead now, but here we are safe and sound. This must be a sign from the Almighty that we should become friends.”

“Indeed, this must be the will of God!” - agreed the priest.

“And look, even this bottle of kosher wine is unbroken. That means we must finish it.”

“Right,” - said the priest, took a few healthy slugs from the bottle and returned it to his colleague. But the rabbi just shook his head.

“Aren’t you going to drink?”

“Maybe it would be better if I waited until the police arrive.”
