GAMBLING
A rabbi and his two friends, a priest and a minister, played poker for small stakes once a week. The only problem was that they lived in a very conservative blue-law town. The sheriff raided their game and took all three before the local judge.
After listening to the sheriff's story, the judge sternly inquired of the priest:
"Were you gambling, Father?"
The priest looked toward heaven, whispered:
"Oh, Lord, forgive me!" and then said aloud: "No, your honor, I was not gambling."
"Were you gambling, Reverend?" - the judge asked the minister.
The minister repeated the priest's actions and said:
"No, your honor, I was not."
Turning to the third clergyman, the judge asked:
"Were you gambling, Rabbi?"
The Rabbi eyed him coolly and replied:
"With whom?"
