Not Me Your Honor
A rabbi and his two friends, a priest and a minister, played poker for small stakes once a week. The only problem was that they lived in a very conservative blue-law town. The sheriff raided their game and took all three before the local judge.
After listening to the sheriff‘s story, the judge sternly inquired of the priest: ‘Were you gambling, Father?‘ The priest looked toward heaven, whispered, ‘Oh, Lord, forgive me!‘ and then said aloud: ‘No, your honor, I was not gambling.‘
‘Were you gambling, Reverend?‘ the judge asked the minister. The minister repeated the priest‘s actions and said, ‘No, your honor, I was not.‘
Turning to the third clergyman, the judge asked: ‘Were you gambling, Rabbi?‘
The rabbi eyed him coolly and replied ‘With whom?‘
