Subject: The difference between Jews and Catholics

(Heard by my wife, while she was in College.)

|
A Jewish couple have a Son who is a bit troublesome: at age five
|
|
he starts in school, and pretty soon, his parents get to hear that
|
|
things aren't going well. After a couple of months, they are asked
|
|
to "take him out of school", since he is not setting a good example
|
|
to the other Jewish children.
|
|
|
|
Things go from bad to worse: after only a month in reform school
|
|
he's thrown out again, and even the state correction center can't
|
|
deal with him.
|
|
|
|
Eventually, in desparation, the parents take him to the only place
|
|
left: a local Catholic school. The don't hear anything concerning
|
|
his performance, no reports of trouble, but their curiosity is really
|
|
aroused when he comes home at the end of the semester with a report
|
|
card showing three B's and the rest A's.
|
|
|
|
Things continue in the same vein, and at the end of the second semester,
|
|
he's running straight A's, and by the end of the school year, his
|
|
performance has been so good that he is head of the class list.
|
|
|
|
His mother taks him aside and asks:
|
|
|
|
"What's going on? We send you to your own people, and they throw you out.
|
|
The reform school can't deal with you, and even the state correction
|
|
center wasn't enough. But now, with these Catholics, you're getting the
|
|
best grades ever."
|
|
|
|
"Well momma," says the boy "I wasn't too bothered by those other places,
|
|
but the first thing I see when I go into that Catholic school is a Jewish
|
|
kid nailed to a cross. I know when to back down...."
