A Jesuit was out for a drive

A Jesuit was out for a drive and crashed into another car, only to discover that the other driver was a Franciscan.

“It was my fault,” each insisted—as is only right and proper with religious men.

Concerned, the Jesuit said, “You look badly shaken up, Father.

You could probably use a good stiff drink right now to calm down.”

He produced a flask and the Franciscan drank from it and said,

“Thank you, Father; I feel much better now. But you’re probably shaken up too. Why don’t you have a drink as well?”

“I will,” the Jesuit replied, “but I think I’ll wait until after the police have come.”
