the priest and the rabbi

    A priest was called away for an emergency. Not wanting to leave the confessional unattended, he called his rabbi friend from across the street and asked him to cover for him.

    The rabbi told him he wouldn't know what to say, but the priest told him to come on over and he'd stay with him for a little bit and show him what to do.

    The rabbi came, and he and the priest were in the confessional.

    In a few minutes, a woman came in and said, "Father, forgive me for Ihave sinned."

    The priest asked, "What did you do?"

    The woman said, "I committed adultery."

    The priest asked, "How many times?"

    And the woman replied, "Three."

    Priest: "Say two Hail Marys, put $5 in the box, and go and sin no more."

    A few minutes later a man entered the confessional. He said, "Father forgive me for I have sinned."

    "What did you do?"

    "I committed adultery."

    "How many times?"

    "Three times."

    The priest said, "Say two Hail Marys, put $5 in the box, and go and sin no more."

    The rabbi told the priest that he thinks he's got it, so the priest left.

    A few minutes later another woman entered and said, "Father, forgive mefor I have sinned."

    The rabbi responded, "What did you do?"

    The woman replied, "I committed adultery."

    The rabbi, getting it off pat, smugly queried, "How many times?"

    The woman replied, "Once."

    The rabbi then said, "Go and do it two more times. We have a special this week. Three for $5."
