<DIV>I have to say greenBubble, I found it a lot funnier with the Goldstein
Brothers. The punch line just came out of nowhere, clear as day. And some Jewish
people don't seem to have heard either version before. Besides, wearing a
priest's garb is fraudulent, whereas sitting there with a cross in front of you
is simply "when in Rome, do as the Romans do." Do either priests or Haddids
commonly sit in the public square begging? Franciscan monks yes, priests, I
don't think so. Nor would the pastor of the church in question appreciate even a
priest of his own faith begging on HIS doorstep.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>See, we did squeeze some controversy out of this one. All in good
fun.</DIV>

<DIV>P.S. Oy vey, I see Jeanene is agreeing with you. We could kick this one
around until Judgement Day. Speaking of which, did you see the tempest in a
teapot over some dumb blonde named Ann Coulter, or some name like that,
announcing that she wants to live in a nation where everyone is Christian, and
the Jews are perfected by becoming same?</DIV>

<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is an old Jewish
joke, which sounds much better in Yiddish. The way I heard it, is
that they are standing outside a large church, on opposite sides of the
entrance, one wearing Hassidic garb, and the other in a priest's habit, with
collar. Everyone comes by, gives the rabbi a dirty look and gives a
donation to the priest.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>The pastor of the church
comes out and points out that the rabbi is kind of out of place. At which time
the "rabbi" says to the "priest", in Yiddish, "Er zugt uns vi azoi tsu machen
a geshesft. ("He's telling us how to run our business.")</FONT></SPAN></P>

<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>Two beggars are sitting
side by side on a street in Rome -</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>one has a cross in front
of him; the other one the Star of</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>David. Many people go by,
look at both beggars, but only put</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>money into the hat of the
beggar sitting behind the cross.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>A priest comes by, stops
and watches throngs of people</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>giving money to the beggar
behind the cross, but none to the</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>beggar behind the Star of
David. Finally, the priest goes</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>over to the beggar behind
the Star of David and says, "My</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>poor fellow, don't you
understand? This is a Catholic</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>country; this city is the
seat of Catholicism. People aren't</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>going to give you money if
you sit there with a Star of</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>David in front of you,
especially when you're sitting beside</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>a beggar who has a cross.
In fact, they would probably give</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>to him just out of
spite."</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>The beggar behind the Star
of David listened to the priest,</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>turned to the other beggar
with the cross and said: "Moishe,</FONT></SPAN></P>
