About an hour passes and not a single word was exchanged by the two men. Finally, the Priest turns to the Rabbi and says, “Rabbi, do you mind if I ask you a personal question”? The Rabbi said, “Of course, you may.”

“I understand that many of you Jewish people, especially Rabbis, keep kosher and, as such, don’t eat things like bacon or ham”. The Rabbi acknowledged that. “Haven’t you ever even tasted bacon or ham?”, asked the Priest.

The Rabbi explained, “Many years ago, I was a visiting Rabbi in a small town in the middle of nowhere and found myself in a diner one Sunday morning. There was no one around so I ordered bacon and eggs. It was quite good but that was the only time that ever happened.”

After some time, the Rabbi turned to the Priest and said, “Father, do you mind if you ask you a very personal question”? The Priest said OK.

“You Priests take an oath of celibacy, right”?, asked the Rabbi. “Why, yes”, answered the Priest, wondering where this was going.

“Well, haven’t you ever had sex since you’ve become as Priest”?, asked the Rabbi. The Priest looked about nervous, leaned toward the rabbi and answered very softly, “As a young parishioner I was approached by a troubled woman who was looking for my guidance. She was a beautiful, young woman and one thing led to another. So, yes, just once I had sex with a woman”.

A few moments pass and the Rabbi leans over to the Priest and says, “A lot better than pork, isn’t it?”
