The Priest and the Rabbi

 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 laws" The 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, '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 temptations
 of a woman?'

 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 the shit out of a ham sandwich, doesn't it?
