A priest, a pastor, and a rabbi are walking
down the street on a hot day and are quite thirsty. They pass a busy
bar and want to go in and get a drink but have no money. But the priest
comes up with an idea that he thinks might work, so he goes in alone,
telling to the others that if his idea works they can all get free
drinks. He orders his drink, and when he's finished with it, the
bartender gives him his tab.
The priest says, "But son,... I already paid for the drink!"
The bartender says, "I'm terribly sorry father but it's really
busy in here and I must have forgotten."
The priest goes out and tells the pastor and the rabbi what happened,
so the pastor goes in next. The pastor orders his drink and then
informs the bartender that he already had paid when the bartender
asks him for the money. Again the bartender apologizes.
Finally the rabbi goes in and orders his drink. Again the
bartender gives him the tab and the rabbi tells him, "Son, I paid you
when I ordered the drink."
"I'm terribly sorry rabbi," says the bartender, "I don't know what's
wrong with me, but your the third man of the cloth that I've done this
to."
"I'm sorry son," says the rabbi, "but I'm in a terrible hurry,...
Just give me my change for the $20 I gave you, and I'll be on my way!"
