A priest and a rabbi are seated together on a plane eating there in flight meal

After a while, 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 replies: "Yes, on one occasion, I did succumb to temptation and tasted a ham sandwich."

The priest nodded in understanding and went on with his meal.

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 temptation of the flesh?"

The priest replied: "Yes, rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke with my faith."

The rabbi nodded understandingly and then they sat silent for about five minutes,…

Then the rabbi spoke again to the priest: "Beats a ham sandwich, doesn't it?"

After a long day at a charitable event, a rabbi and a priest decided to change into casual attire and go to a bar for a drink.

Soon after they sat down, a gay man walked up to the priest, tugged at his arm, and said, "Come, dance with me!" Stunned that they were in a gay bar, and not knowing what to say without offending the gay man, the priest said, "But I haven't finished my drink yet."

The gay man walked away, but returned several times with the same results.

Finally, the rabbi walked up to the gay man, whispered in his ear, and the gay man disappeared and never returned. Amazed at this, the priest asked the rabbi what he told the gay man.

"Simple," the rabbi said. "I told him we are on our honeymoon."

The three ministers (the Archbishop, the Bishop, and a young minister just out of seminary) were out fishing. It was a really bad day for fishing. They had been there for hours, and they had not had one single bite.

The Archbishop stands up in the boat and announces, "I have faith." Then, he steps out of the boat and proceeds to walk across the water to shore.

The young minister eyes bug, but he does not want to say anything.

Soon, the Bishop stands up in the boat and declares, "I have faith." Likewise, he steps out of the boat and proceeds to walk to shore.

The young minister is doing some serious thinking. He says to himself, "Surely, I have faith."

The young minister stands up in the boat and declares, "I have faith." However, when he steps out of the boat, he goes to the bottom.

The young minister manages to swim back to the surface and pull himself back into the boat. He is feeling a bit down, since he has failed in his attempt to demonstrate his faith.

The young minister says to himself, "Surely, I must have as much faith as they do." He then stands up in the boat and declares, in a firmer voice, "I have faith." He steps out of the boat and goes straight to the bottom.

Being really persistent, the young minister swims back to the surface and pulls himself into the boat. He is really depressed now, having failed a second time to demonstrate his faith. He talks to himself, for a while, and declares to himself, "Surely I must have as much faith as they do."

Again, the young minster stands up in the boat, and with a shout, declares, "I have faith." Again, he steps out of the boat and goes to the bottom.

Again, the young minister swims to the surface and pulls himself into the boat. By now, he is totally dejected.

After watching the young minister's failures, the Bishop turns to the Archbishop and asks, "Do you think we should tell him where the rocks are?"
