A Traditional Form of Joke

Life has a funny way of teaching us lessons. Have you noticed this? The other day, for example, life dressed up like a clown and taught me the value of friendship. Funny, right? Life is a little creepy. Have you noticed this?

Now, the joke proper:

A priest and rabbi walk into a bar. Sitting at the bar, drinking a beer in moderation, the priest asks, "Friend, is it true that you can't eat pork?"

"Yes," the rabbi responds, sipping his own beer. "It's true."

"Wow," responds the priest. "That's too bad. Pork's pretty good, you know. Have you ever tasted it?"

"To be perfectly honest, my friend, I've tasted it a couple of times. It's pretty good."

"It sure is," the priest says.

"And let me ask you, since we're asking questions," the rabbi says, "you're supposed to be celibate, no?"

"I am supposed to be and I am."

"And I wonder, have you ever tried...?" The rabbi raises his eyebrows knowingly to the priest and winks.

"Well..." the priest smiles and looks down into his beer, "...to be honest, I have... in the past you know... a couple of times."

The rabbi nods and takes a sip of his beer. "It's better than pork."

Hello, friends. How are you today?

Later. Love.

P. S. - I decided to delete this last line because it makes it less of a joke and more of a story. As a joke, it should end with the punch line.
