As long as we touched on religious humor....

BTW. In my defense, I consider myself to be neither Jewish NOR Catholic, and this joke was told to me by a Jewish person. I could see how either side MIGHT be a little offended, but read it through and realize it is a joke.... Hopefully I will hit all the good parts...

OK, the story goes that a group of Jewish people were told to leave. The Jewish people pleaded and the others said they could stay if they debated the pope. ONE problem! They could not speak.

So they debated! The pope was first. He spread his arms. The Jewish person pointed to himself. The pope held up three fingers. The jewish person held up one. The pope brought out wine and a wafer. The Jewish person bit into an apple.

The pope said they could STAY! Everyone asked the pope why. He said.... "I said God is everywhere. HE said god is with me. I said god was a trinity. He said god was one. I brought out the sacraments, and he said but ALL have sinned!".

So the jewish people asked the jewish person how he won. He said "HECK, I have NO idea! HE said ALL of you HAVE to go. I said I WON'T. He said you all have 3 days to leave. I said I won't move one step. He brought out HIS lunch, and I brought out mine!"
