Golf Match between a 'Cardinal' and 'Rabbi'

The Pope met with the College of Cardinals to discuss a proposal from
Shimon Peres, the former leader of Israel. "Your holiness," said one of
the Cardinals, "Mr. Peres wants to determine whether Jews or Catholics are
superior, by challenging you to a golf match."

The Pope was greatly disturbed, as he had never held a golf club in his life. "Not to worry,"
said the Cardinal, "we'll call America and talk to Jack Nicklaus. We'll make him a Cardinal, he can play Shimon Peres...We can't lose!" Everyone agreed it was a good idea.

The call was made and, of course, Jack was honored and agreed to play. The day after the match, Nicklaus reported to
the Vatican to inform the Pope of his success in the match.

"I came in second, your Holiness," said Nicklaus. "Second?!!" exclaimed the surprised
Pope. "You came in second to Shimon Peres?!!"

"No," said Nicklaus, "second to Rabbi Tiger Woods."
