>A priest and a rabbi are seated together on a plane. After a while, the priest turns to the rabbi and asks, "Is it still a requirement of your faith that you not eat pork?"
>
>The rabbi responds, "Yes, that is still one of our beliefs." The priest then asks, "Have you ever eaten pork?" To which the rabbi replies, "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 temptation of the flesh?"
>
>The priest replied, "Yes, rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke with my faith."
>
>The rabbi nodded understandingly. He was silent for about five minutes, and then he said, "Beats a ham sandwich, doesn't it?"
