Poker Hands
A priest,
minister & a rabbi formed a clandestine threesome because they loved to play poker.
The mayor of the town had just made a promise to clean up gambling in the city. The trio
met at the rabbi's house, feeling that this small infraction of the law need not apply to
the clergy since all winnings were donated to charity. But somebody tipped off the sheriff
who obtained a search warrant and kicked down the door, catching all 3 of them red-handed,
cards in hand, money on the table.
The sheriff yelled, "Hold it right there. You're all under arrest."
He turned his pistol on the preacher and asked, "Brother, were you gambling here
tonight?"
The preacher thought to himself, "Oh, Lord, forgive this little white lie," and
said "No, sheriff, I was not gambling here tonight."
The sheriff swung his handgun toward the priest and asked the same question.
The priest thought to himself, "Oh Lord, forgive me this slight deviation from the
truth," and said "No, sheriff, I was not gambling here tonight."
The sheriff turned his pistol on the rabbi and asked, "Rabbi, were you gambling here
tonight?"
The rabbi shrugged his shoulders, placed his palms up in front of his chest, and asked,
"With who?"
