A priest and a rabbi were sitting together on a coach and were talking on a wide range of subjects. Then the priest said, "Even though your religion forbids consumption of pork and such meats, have you ever eaten any?" The rabbi nodded. "I did once. I attended a seminar and that subject came up and caused a lot of discussion and I realised that several of my colleagues didn't really know what they were talking about.I decided that, if I wished to talk with authority, I had to try it.
I did ...and I didn't like it at all. What about you and celibacy." "Yes. I found that I was expected to advise my parishoners when they came to me with marital problems which often revolved around sex.
I didn't have the depth of knowledge to give good advice so I decided to try it......
bloody sight better than pork, isn't it?" |
