The law is the law

A policeman spots two youngsters riding a motorcycle. They are unmistakably Chassidic: yarmulke, payes, tzitzit, the works.

The policeman doesn't like Jews, so he follows them, intending to catch them doing some kind of wrong.

After tailing them for a long time, he can find nothing wrong with their driving. Frustrated, he stops them anyway.

"I have been following you two for a long time now, watching every move you made and hoping to catch you breaking the law, but you two seem to be perfect. How do you do it?"

"HaShem is with us," they replied.

"That's it!" exclaimed the policeman. "Three people on a motorcycle!"
