Topic: The Priest and The Rabbi

[Triffecpa]

A priest and a rabbi were sitting next  to each other in an airplane.

 

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?'

 

To which the rabbi replied, '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 the priest, '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 with    my faith.'

 

The rabbi nodded understandingly and remained silent, thinking, for about five minutes.

 

 Finally, the rabbi said, 'Beats the hell out of a ham sandwich, doesn't it?

Reminds me of the one when James Norton was having a chat with God. The conversation went something like this.

God: Now see here Norton, old chap, there's been a few complaints here in heaven when you started building your bikes with side head valves as opposed to overhead valves.

Norton: Well Sir, you it all came down to engineering practices of the time, evolution of the combustion engine, material stresses etc. But anyway, Lord, There's been numerous complaints down on earth since you put the "exhaust tube" so close to the "inlet tube" in women!

God: I know, I know, That was due to a lack of anatomical know how at the time. But still, More people ride my model than they do yours!
