A priest and a rabbi were sitting in adjacent seats on an airplane. After a
while, the priest turned to the rabbi and asked, "Is it still a requirement
of your faith that you not eat pork?"
The rabbi responded, "Yes, that is still one of our laws."
The priest then asked, "But have you ever eaten pork?"
"Yes, on one occasion I did succumb to temptation and ate a bacon
sandwich."
The priest nodded in understanding and went on with his reading. A while
later, the rabbi spoke up and asked, "Father, is it still a requirement of
your church that you remain celibate?"
The priest replied, "Yes, that is still very much a part of our faith."
The rabbi then asked him, "And Father, have you ever fallen to the
temptations of the flesh?"
The priest replied, "Yes, Rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke the
pledge of my faith."
The rabbi nodded understandingly and remained silent for several minutes.
Finally the rabbi quietly observed, "Beats the hell out of a bacon sandwich, doesn't it?
I love that one considering how many priests I have known over the years.
Outstanding! A lot of priests have been tempted by the flesh through the years. Unfortunately, the temptation hasn't always been a female! Oops! Did I just say that?

Old story. I heard this the first time about 65 years ago. One of my Dad's favorite tales. It still is a nice story.
