----------

This reminds me of a similar joke.

Rabbi Baskin, a prominent local Jewish leader, and Rev. Lewis, a
prominent Baptist minister lived across from each other in a well-to-do
neighbourhood.  Each was very conscious of maintaining the status quo,
and one might even say that they were caught up in the "keeping up with
the Joneses" syndrome.  No sooner had Rev. Lewis purchased a new John
Deere mower/tractor, Rabbi Baskin rushes out and acquires a brand new
Bolens riding mower.  The very day that Rabbi Baskin came home with
a video recorder, Rev. Lewis was seen at the local video store examining
the latest in video technology.

Well, one day Rabbi Baskin spies out his living room bay window and
notices that Rev. Lewis has traded his Ford LTD in for a brand new Lincoln
Continental; not to be outdone, the Rabbi decides that it is time for
his 1984 Chrysler New Yorker to be replaced by a 1985 Cadillac De Ville.

In the ensuing days, Rabbi Baskin keeps a close eye on his neighbouring
Reverend, and one day notices that the pastor is washing his Lincoln,
dousing it with generous amounts of fresh water.  Without hesitation, the
Rabbi rushes into his garage, emerging with a hacksaw.  Crawling beneath
his new Cadillac, he promptly proceeds to cut the end off of the tailpipe.
