A priest, a minister, and a rabbi had been discussing St Francis of Assisi and how wonderful he was with animals.
It turned into something of a competition whereby they all decide to go out and convert bears (they’d been at the priest’s communion wine)
Later they got together.
The priest begins: “I read to the bear from the Catechism and sprinkled him with holy water. Next week is his First Communion.”
The Minister says: “I found a bear by the stream, preached God’s word and the bear was so moved he asked me baptize him.” (clearly they had talking bears in his neck of the woods)
They both look towards the Rabbi, who is bandaged and with his arm in a cast.
“Looking back,” he says, “maybe I shouldn’t have started with the circumcision.”
