Hangin' With The Rabbi
Four religious leaders were discussing the time when life starts.
The Catholic priest asserted, "It starts at the moment of conception."
The Methodist minister rejected that argument, saying, "No, it starts when the baby is born and comes into this world."
Another leader of a different denomination says, "Well, the truth is somewhere in between. It starts when the heart in the fetus starts to beat."
Finally, the Jewish rabbi observed, "You guys don't know anything. Life starts when your youngest kid leaves home, taking the dog and the hi-fi with him."
At the Henry Street Hebrew School, Goldblatt, the new teacher, finished the day's lesson. It was now time for the usual question period. "Mr. Goldblatt," announced little Joey, "there's somethin' I can't figure out." "What's that Joey?" asked Goldblatt.
"Well accordin' to the Bible, the Children of Israel crossed the Red Sea, right?"
"Right."
"An' the Children of Israel beat up the Phillistines, they built the Temple, an' the Children of Israel fought the 'gyptians, an' the Children of Israel fought the Romans, an' the Children of Israel wuz always doin' somethin' important, right?"
"All that is right, too," agreed Goldblatt. "So what's your question?"
"What I wanna know is this," demanded Joey. "What wuz all the grown-ups doin' all that time?"
A Rabbi and a Priest were sitting together on a train, and the Rabbi leans over and asks, "So how high can you advance in your organization?"
The Priest says, "If I am lucky, I guess I could become a Bishop."
"Well, could you get any higher than that?" asks the Rabbi.
"I suppose that if my works are seen in a very good light that I might be
made an Arch Bishop," said the Priest a bit cautiously.
"Is there any way that you might go higher than that?"
"If all the Saints should smile, I guess I could be made a Cardinal," said the priest.
"Could you be anything higher than a Cardinal?" probed the Rabbi.
Hesitating a little bit, the Priest said, "I suppose that I could be elected Pope, but..."
So the Rabbi says "And could you be anything higher than that? Is there any way to go up from being the Pope?"
"What do you want!!! I should be the Messiah himself!?!"
The Rabbi leaned back and said, "One of our boys made it."
