A priest, a minister, and a rabbi wanted to see who was best at their job.
So one by one they went into the woods, found a bear, and attempted to convert it.
Later, they all got together.
The priest began: “When I found the bear, I read to him from the catechism and sprinkled him with holy water. Next week is his first Communion.”
“I found a bear by the stream,” said the minister, “and preached God’s holy Word. The bear was so mesmerised that he let me baptise him.”
They both looked down at the rabbi, who was lying on a gurney in a body cast.
“Looking back,” he said, “maybe I shouldn’t have started with the circumcision.”
