I received this one from both Abie and Huck Finn on the subject
of a priest and rabbi...

A priest and a rabbi were sitting in adjacent seats on an airplane.

After a short 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 laws.”

The priest then asked, "Rabbi, have you ever eaten pork?”

"Yes, on one occasion I did succumb to temptation and ate a bacon
sandwich.”

The priest nodded in understanding and went on with his reading.

A little later the rabbi spoke up and asked, "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 the vow of my faith.”

The rabbi nodded understandingly and remained silent for several
minutes.

Finally the rabbi quietly observed, "Sure beats a bacon sandwich,
doesn't it.?"
