Sex
v. a Ham
A priest and a rabbi were
riding next to one another on a train.
At length, the priest struck up a conversation. “Is it still your church’s policy to forbid
the eating of pork?” he asked.
“Yes,” the Rabbi
answered. “That hasn’t changed.”
“Have you ever violated that tenet?”
the Priest asked.
“In fact I have,” the Rabbi
admitted. “Once I had a ham sandwich.”
The Priest fell silent, deep
in thought.
“Is it still the policy of
the Catholic church that priests remain celibate?” the Rabbi asked.
“Yes,” the Priest said.
“Have you ever made love to a
woman?” the Rabbi asked.
“Once,” the Priest admitted,
“I broke my vow of celibacy.”
The Rabbi fell silent. The two holy men rode many minutes, both lost in their thoughts.
“Beats the hell out of a ham sandwich, doesn’t it?” the Rabbi finally said.
