A Catholic Priest, a Baptist Preacher and a Rabbi were sitting around drinking
coffee.
Someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really all that
hard, a real challenge would be to preach to a bear. One thing led to
another and they decided that each would find a bear and attempt to convert
it to their religion.
Seven days later, they all came together to discuss their experiences.
Father Flannery, who had his arm in a sling and had various bandages on his
body and limbs, went first.
Well, he said, 'I went into the woods to find a bear and when I found
him, I began to read to him from the Catechism. Well, the bear came after
me and began to slap me around. So I quickly grabbed my holy water,
sprinkled him and said ‘Holy Mary Mother of God, he became as gentle as a lamb'.
Reverend Billy Bob the Evangelical Baptist spoke next. He was in a wheelchair and had an
IV drip. 'I went out and found me a bear and then I began to read to my
bear from the Bible but that bear came after me. We wrestled down one hill,
until we came to a creek. So I quickly dunked him and baptised his hairy
soul and just like you said, he became as gentle as a lamb.
The Priest and the Reverend both looked down at the Rabbi, who was lying in
a hospital bed. He was in a body cast and traction with IV's and monitors
running in and out of him.
The Rabbi looked up and said: "Looking back on it...circumcision may not
have been the best way to start...”
