A synagogue and a church are across the street from each other. The Rabbi and the Priest have been in a friendly competition with each other for years. The one day, the Priest's parish buys him a brand new car. The Priest blesses the car with Holy Water.

Not to be out-done, the temple members buy their Rabbi a new car also. But he cannot match the Priest's blessing. After giving it some thought, he goes out and cuts 3" off the tailpipe of his car.

Just about all my life I belonged to the Reformed Lutheran Church. When I married my wife, I converted to her church, which at that time was called the Lutheran Church in America. In order to do so, I had to attend classes.

At one of the first sessions, the Minister conducting the class said, "What must we do before we can expect forgiveness from sin ?"

I replied, perhaps too quickly, "Sin ???"

This one member of the Catholic church was having a real struggle over the question of birth control, so he asked his Priest if he thought it was really a sin.

"All depends," the Priest replied, "I myself have been faithfully practicing it for many years now."

A man goes to the track and sees a Priest blessing a horse before a race and quickly goes to the ticket window and bets. The horse wins. He watches the Priest carefully for the next four races, and continues to win, until he has quite a small fortune. He decides to bet it all on one last race.

Before the horse crosses the finish line however, it drops dead.

The man rushes up to the Priest, confronts him with what he's seen and demands an explanation.

The Priest just shakes his head sadly and sez, "That's one of the problems with you Protestants. You don't know the difference between a blessing and the last rites."
