Religious one-upsmanship.... An elderly priest named Paul invited a young rabbi named Moshe over for dinner. During the meal, the young rabbi couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening he began to wonder if there might be more between the elderly priest and the housekeeper than at first met the eye. Reading the young rabbi's thoughts, the elderly priest volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." Moshe smiled and they continued their dinner. Nothing more was said on the subject. About a week later, the housekeeper came to the elderly priest and said, "Father, ever since your young rabbi friend Moshe came to dinner, I've been unable to find our beautiful sterling silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose he took it, do you?" The priest said, "Well, I doubt he did, but I'll write him a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote the following letter: Dear Rabbi Moshe: I enjoyed our dinner last week. We must do it again. However, we seem to be missing a silver gravy ladle. Now I'm not saying that you DID take it from my house, and I'm not saying you DIDN'T take it. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here." Your friend in God, Paul Several days later the elderly priest received a letter from the Moshe which read: Dear Father Paul, I agree, dinner was most enjoyable. I'd like to reciprocate at my home very soon. As to our discussion at dinner, I was not saying that you DO sleep with your housekeeper, and I was not saying that you DON'T. However, the fact remains that if you were sleeping in your own bed, you would have found your gravy ladle by now." Your Friend in God, Moshe
