IJMC - A Priest, A Pastor, and A Rabbi

Ahh, to be back in the eighties again. I remember that in the eighties any
joke that started with, "A priest, a pastor, and a rabbi..." was going to
be a good one. Fortunately, this one has been sitting in my inbox for
quite a while...let us hope it has become better with age!           -dave







A priest, a pastor, and a rabbi are walking down the street on a hot day
and are quite thirsty. They pass a busy bar and want to go in and get a
drink but have no money. But the priest comes up with an idea that he
thinks might work, so he goes in alone, telling to others that if his idea
works they can all get free drinks. He orders his drink, and when
he'sfinished with it, the bartender gives him his tab.

The priest says, "But son,... I already paid for the drink!"

The bartender says, "I'm terribly sorry father but it's really busy in
here and I must have forgotten."

The priest goes out and tells the pastor and the rabbi what happened, so
the pastor goes in next.  The pastor orders his drink and then informs the
bartender that he already had paid when the bartender asks him for the
money.  Again the bartender apologizes.

Finally the rabbi goes in and orders his drink.  Again the bartender gives
him the tab and the rabbi tells him, "Son, I paid you when I ordered the
drink."

"I'm terribly sorry rabbi," says the bartender, "I don't know what's wrong
with me, but your the third man of the cloth that I've done this to."

"I'm sorry son," says the rabbi, "but I'm in a terrible hurry,... Just
give me my change for the $20 I gave you, and I'll be on my way!"
