A Joke to Start the Week - "Stopped by a Cop"

In August 2012 we started a weekly feature on Jewish Humor Central -- the Monday Joke to Start the Week. We find it hard to believe that in the last seven years we've posted 280 jokes from many sources -- all of them clean and family-friendly.

Jewish jokes, especially those told by old Jews, tend to be somewhat risque or off-color. If we didn't have a policy of posting only family-friendly jokes, we would have a virtually unlimited supply of new (well, actually not new but previously unposted) jokes to share with you.

We haven't run out yet, and we still have a small supply of these jokes to post for the rest of this year. As we get to the bottom of the list, we're asking for your opinion on whether we should end the series when the clean jokes run out or whether we should start re-running some of the more popular old jokes. Please let us have your opinion in the comments section below.

In the meantime, here's today's joke. It's another one from Toronto's Jewish Folks Telling Jokes, a night of comedy to benefit Jewish Family and Child, one of the foremost Jewish service agencies in North America.

We previously posted a few jokes that were told at the event, a Canadian contribution to the world of Jewish humor, probably inspired by the off-Broadway show Old Jews Telling Jokes, still touring around the USA.

We'll be posting more of these jokes on upcoming Mondays. Here's another oldie but goodie, told by Ellen Levine.

Here's the setup: Sam is driving down the highway, minding his own business. He looks in the rear view mirror and he sees that the police are after him. And then...

Enjoy!
