Priest and Rabbi have been pals for 25 years. One night, in boozy good fellowship, the priest says to the Rabbi, "Old friend, did you ever once, as a young and foolish boy, before you were ordained, partake of the taste of ham?" Rabbi blushes and says, "Yes, once, as a young and foolish boy, before I was ordained, I did partake of the taste of ham."

Then he says, "Tell me, Father, did you ever, once, as a young and foolish boy, before you took your vows, have a woman?" Priest blushes very deeply and says, "Yes, once, as a young and foolish boy, before I took my vows, I did have a woman."

Rabbi smiles and replies: "Sure beats ham, doesn't it?"
