I don’t know about you, but I could really use a laugh today. So here’s an old Jackie Gleason joke.
At a major interfaith conference, a Catholic priest, a Methodist minister, and a rabbi found themselves, between events, sitting at a table in an out-of-the-way corner of the hotel lounge. Someone suggested they pass the time by playing cards; so they obtained a deck of cards and proceeded to play.
Suddenly they were startled by someone loudly clearing his throat. They looked up to find an archbishop standing over the table, looking down at them and shaking his head in disapproval.
“Father,” asked the archbishop, “have you been playing cards?”
(Gulp!) “Oh, no, father! I’m just sitting here.”
To the minister: “Reverend, have you been playing cards?”
“Me? Oh, no, your worship! I’m just resting.”
And then: “Rabbi, have you been playing cards?”
To which the rabbi answers, “With who?”
