The Rabbi & the Priest


A Priest and a Rabbi were taking the same flight and 
had seats next to each other. 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 a requirement 
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 the temptation and tasted pork."

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, haven you ever fallen 
to the temptations of the flesh?"

The Priest replied, "Yes rabbi, on one occasion I was weak 
and broke my vow of celibacy."

The Rabbi nodded understandingly for a moment and then 
said, "A lot better than pork, isn't it?"
