A priest, a minister, and a rabbi want to see who’s best at his job. So they each go into the woods, find a bear, and attempt to convert it. A week later they get together to discuss the results.

The priest begins: “When I found a bear, I read to him from the Catechism and sprinkled him with holy water. Next week is his first communion.”

“I found a bear by the stream,” says the minister, “and preached God’s holy word. The bear was so mesmerized that he let me baptize him.”

The rabbi was in a wheel chair and in a body cast. “Looking back,” he says, “maybe I shouldn't have started with the circumcision.”
