Sabbath

A man wonders if having sex on the Sabbath is a sin because he

is not sure if sex is work or play. So he goes to a priest and asks for his

opinion on this question.

After consulting with his superiors, the priest says, "My son, after

an exhaustive search, I am positive that sex is work and is therefore not permitted

on the Sabbath."

The man thinks, "What does a priest know about sex?"
So he goes to a minister, who after all is a married man and experienced


in this matter. He queries the minister and receives the same reply.

"Sex is work and therefore not permitted on the Sabbath!"

Not pleased with the reply, he seeks out a rabbi, a man of thousands of

years' tradition and knowledge. The rabbi ponders the question, then


states, "My son, sex is definitely play."

The man replies, "Rabbi, how can you be so sure when so many others

tell me sex is work?"

The rabbi softly speaks, "My son, if sex were work, my wife would have the maid do it."

Good one
