An Irish priest and a Rabbi found themselves sharing a compartment on
a train. After a while, the priest opened a conversation by saying, "I
know that, in your religion, you're not supposed to eat pork... Have
you actually ever tasted it?"
The Rabbi said, "I must tell the truth. Yes, I have, on the odd
occasion."
Then the Rabbi had his turn of interrogation. He asked, "Your
religion, too... I know you're supposed to be celibate, but..."
The priest replied, "Yes, I know what you're going to ask. I have
succumbed once or twice."
There was silence for a while. Then the Rabbi peeped around the
newspaper he was reading and said, "Better than pork, isn't it?"
