A priest and a rabbi are sitting next to each other on an airplane.
After a while, the priest turns to the rabbi and asks, “Pardon me, Rabbi, but 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 nods in understanding and goes on with his reading.
A while later, the rabbi speaks up and asks the priest, “Father, is it still a requirement of your church that you remain celibate?” The priest replies, “Yes, that is still very much a part of our faith.” The rabbi then asks him, “Father, have you ever fallen to the temptations of the flesh?” The priest replies, “Yes, rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke with my faith.”
The rabbi nods understandingly and remains silent, thinking, for about five minutes.
Finally, the rabbi says, “Sure beats a ham sandwich, doesn’t it?”
