March 17, 200620 yr A rabbi, a priest, and a minister are playing poker when the game gets raided by the police and they get hauled before the judge. The judge says, 'I feel really bad about this and since you are men of the cloth, I don't think we need a full trial. I am simply going to ask you whether you were gambling and accept your answers.' He turns first to the priest and says, 'Father, were you gambling?' The priest replies, 'Well, it depends on your definition of gambling. There was money on the table but it remained to be seen whether it would change hands at the end of the night or if it was just a convenient way to mark the progress of the game. So, no, I was not gambling.' The judge says, 'Ok, case dismissed.' Turning to the minister, he says, 'Reverend, were you gambling?' The minister says, 'Again, it depends on your definition of 'gambling.' Does the amount involved have to be enough to affect your life or is it otherwise just sort of a variable entrance fee into the game so, no, I was not gambling.' 'Ok, case dismissed,' the judge says. 'Rabbi, were you gambling?' The rabbi looks to his left, then to his right, and says, 'With who?'"
