The Lake Hike
A minister, a priest, and a rabbi were hiking on a scorching summer day when they stumbled upon a secluded lake with a sandy beach. Excited, they stripped off their clothes and dove in for a refreshing swim.
Halfway back to their spot, a group of women appeared on the beach. Panicking, the minister and priest covered their privates, while the rabbi covered his face and sprinted into the bushes.
Later, the minister asked,
“Why did you cover your face instead of…?”
The rabbi shrugged,
“In my congregation, it’s my face they would recognize!”
The Clever Customs Trick
A sophisticated woman traveling from Switzerland found herself seated next to a friendly priest on a plane. Nervously, she whispered,
“Father, I bought an expensive hair remover and might exceed customs limits. Could you hide it under your cassock?”
The priest agreed but reminded her,
“I cannot lie, my child.”
At customs, he was asked,
“Father, do you have anything to declare?”
He replied with perfect honesty,
“From my head to my sash, nothing at all, my son.”
The officer, puzzled, asked,
“And from the sash down?”
The priest smiled and said,
“I have here a marvelous little instrument designed for women, but it’s never been used.”
The customs officer burst out laughing and waved him through.
