At an interfaith conference two very junior members, a rabbi and a Roman Catholic priest, were seated next to each other.
A server came round with a dish of various meats for the salad course. The priest took some very nice Parma ham, the rabbi some gefette fish. The priest decided to poke fun at the rabbi.
"Tell me, is it true that your faith disallows you from eating any meat of the pig?"
"This is so," replied the rabbi.
"But, perhaps when you were younger, in your rasher days, were you tempted to wonder why and try this forbidden food?"
The rabbi muttered a prayer and said, "Yes, whilst on an exchange in America I tried ham and eggs, may I be forgiven."
"Did you enjoy it at the time?"
Sigh, "Yes..."
The priest smirks, feeling smug. The rabbi thinks how he can get his own back. "Tell me," he says, "this rule about celibacy, is it absolute?"
"But yes," the priest admits, "we must remain pure of earthly desire."
"But were you perhaps tempted from this virtuous path at any time, had carnal knowledge of a woman?"
The priest crosses himself and admits, "Yes, at the seminary, there was this laundry girl . . ."
"Hmm," says the rabbi, "much nicer than bacon isn't it?"
On London's Speakers' Corner the aspiring politician was trying to overcome the hecklers.
"Please, please," he shouted, "I can't even hear myself above your shouting!"
As the noise reduced a little one voice was heard above the rest, "Don't worry mate, you're not missing anything!"
When I was in education I was determined to learn everything, science, philosophy, art, languages etc. Trouble was I suffered from terrible dyslexia.
So now I am a fully qualified gollypot and mollypath.
