A Rabbi and Priest

[Deep Diver]

A RABBI AND A CATHOLIC PRIEST SIT TOGETHER ON PUBLIC BUS



After a bit, the priest turns to the Rabbi and asks: "Is it still a requirement of your faith that you not eat pork?"



The Rabbi responds: "Yes, that is still one of our beliefs.



The Priest then asks: "Have you ever eaten pork?"



To which the Rabbi quickly looks away, then faces his newly-met companion and replies: "Yes, on one occasion I did succumb to the temptation and tasted a ham sandwich."



A while later, the Rabbi speaks up and asks the Priest, "Father, is it still a requirement of your church that you remain celibate?"



The Priest replies: "Yes, that is still very much a part of our faith.”



The Rabbi then asks him: "Father, have you ever fallen prey to the temptations of the flesh?"



The Priest frowns, but replies: "Yes, rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke with my faith."



The Rabbi nods understandingly and remains silently thinking for about five minutes.

Finally, the Rabbi says:



"Beats a ham sandwich,

doesn't it?”
