Rabbi, Minister, Priest




The priest, minister, and rabbi were gambling each Saturday night in a rented loft in Soho. Finally their congregants had had enough and called the police. The clergy heard them coming and put away their cards and picked up Bibles. When the police arrived, they inquired, “Reverend, have you been gambling?” He prayed silently, saying, “God forgive me” and said to the officer, “No” The policeman turned to the priest and asked the same. The priest crossed himself and silently prayed a confession and replied, “No”. The policeman turned finally to the rabbi and asked “Have you been gambling?” The rabbi thought for a minute and said, “With whom?”


….


The rabbi, minister and priest were discussing the weekly collections at their congregation. “How do you decide what to do with the money?” they wanted to know from each other. The minister said, “I draw a circle in the ground, and throw up the money. Whatever lands inside the circle belongs to God and whatever is outside goes to me.”


The priest said, “I too draw a circle. Throw the money in the air. Whatever lands outside the cirlce belongs to God, and whatver is inside goes to me”


The rabbi said, ” I too draw a cirlce. Throw the money in the air. Whatever God wants to keep he does, and the rest that falls on the ground, is mine.”
