Priest And The Rabbi
Posted: 03 Dec 2014, 12:48
A Priest and a rabbi were sitting in adjacent seats on
an aircraft. After a while the priest turned to the
rabbi and asked, "Is it still a requirement of your
faith that you not eat pork?"
The rabbi responded, "Yes, that is still one of our
laws."
The priest then asked, "Have you ever eaten pork?"
"Yes, on one occasion I did succumb to temptation and
tasted a ham sandwich."
The priest nodded in understanding, and went on with his
reading.
A while later the rabbi spoke up and asked, "Father, is
It still a requirement of your church that you remain
celibate?"
The priest replied, "Yes, that is still very much a part
of our faith."
The rabbi then asked him, "Father, have you ever fallen
to the temptations of the flesh?"
The priest replied, "Yes, Rabbi, on one occasion I was
weak and broke the pledge of my faith."
The rabbi nodded understandingly, and remained silent
for several minutes.
Finally the rabbi quietly observed, "Beats a ham
sandwich, doesn't it!"
