483 - He's got a point

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."

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 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?"
