A priest and a rabbi were sitting next to
each other on 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 beliefs." 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, "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, "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 a ham sandwich, doesn't it?"
