INFALLIBLE SIGN

A man wondered, if having sex on the Sabbath is a sin, because he was not sure if sex was work, or play. He asked a priest for his opinion on this question. After consulting the Bible, the priest said:

“ My son, after an exhaustive research, I am positive sex is work and is not permitted on Sundays.”

The man thought:

“Outside of young boys, what does a priest know of sex?”

He went to a minister, a married and experienced man, for the answer. He queried the minister and received the same reply. Sex is work and not for the Sabbath! Not pleased with the reply, he sought out the ultimate authority, a man of thousands of year’s tradition and knowledge, a Rabbi. The Rabbi pondered the question and stated:

“My son, sex is definitely play.”

The man replied:

“Rabbi, how can you be so sure, when so many others told me sex is work?!”

The Rabbi spoke softly:

“If sex was work, my wife would have the maid do it.”
