Happy times

While I do like my last post, it’s a little depressing. I don't want people to think I'm just some emo chick who never smiles. So here's a random joke that I hope it'll make you smile

Just so you know, I heard it in my Comparative Religions class about a year back.

A Rabbi, a Priest and a Pastor all walk into their favorite bar. After a couple rounds they begin to complain about how in this postmodern world it is much easier to convert a bear than it is a human. The Pastor speaks up and says, "Hey priest, I bet I can convert a bear faster than you can". The priest say's, "I beg to differ, I'm sure I can convert a bear faster than you." The Rabbi perks up and says, "In order to settle this let's meet again in one week. During this one-week we will each go up to the woods, find ourselves a bear and try to convert it. The one who is successful wins." This sounds pleasing to everyone, so they agree to do so.

One week later they all meet again, this time in the hospital.

The Pastor looks up at the Priest who has a broken arm and asks him how it went. The Priest said, "This last week I went up to the woods and I found myself a bear. After preaching to the bear for 30 minutes the bear decided he just wasn't having it anymore and started swatting me around. I pull out my Holy water, splash it in his face, and all of a sudden we're praising Jesus, Mary, and Joseph together. How bout you preacher? What happened to you?"

The Pastor himself not only has a broken arm but a broken leg too. The pastor pulls himself straight in his chair and begins his story. "Well this week I went up to the woods and found myself a bear, too. After preaching to this bear for 20 minutes he decided he just wasn't having it anymore. He swats me so hard pretty soon we're rollin down a ravine into the river below. I take the bear by the scruff of the neck, dunk him hard in the water, baptize him, and start praising Jesus together." The two have a short laugh and together look at the Rabbi who not only has a broken leg and a broken arm, but also is in a full body cast.

The Rabbi sits quietly for a moment, and then begins to speak slowly with in a slurred speech. "After hearing both of your stories, I now realize that I shouldn't have tried to circumcise the bear."
