Father Pat and Rabbi Sol go to a local boxing match between "Irish" Sean O'hara and Izzy "The Yid" Fleckstein. They settle into their seats as the fighters meet in the middle of the ring. As they return to their corners Rabbi Sol notices Irish O'hara making the sign of the cross.
"What's that for," he asked Father Pat?
"Oh, he's blessing himself for the upcoming match," Father Pat replied amiably.
"Will it help," demanded the rabbi?
Father pat answered, "not if he can't fight."
