Fast and Furious and Polish

Three men were all applying to become NYPD detectives. One was Polish, one was Jewish, and one was Italian. Unfortunately, there was only one position available, so the police Chief decided to interview each man himself to see who was the most qualified. Rather than go through three lengthy interviews that would take up his whole day, the Chief decided to ask each applicant just one, unorthodox question and base his decision on their answers.

When the Jewish man arrived for his interview, the Chief asked, "Who killed Jesus Christ?" The Jewish man answered without hesitation, "The Romans killed him." The Chief thanked him for his time, and the Jewish man left. When the Italian arrived for his interview, the Chief asked the same question. He replied, "Jesus was killed by the Jews." Again, the chief thanked him for his time and the Italian left. When the Polish man arrived for his interview, he was asked the exact same question, "Who killed Jesus Christ?" The Pole leaned back in his chair and stared off into space for about five minutes before saying, "Could I have some time to think about it?" The Chief said, "Okay, but get back to me first thing tomorrow morning."

When the Polish man arrived at home, his wife asked "How did the interview go?" He replied, "Great, I got the job, and I'm already investigating a murder!"
