and this same rose that you see today, tomorrow will be dying.

Is it still a Requirement?

A Priest & a Rabbi are riding in a plane. After a while, the Priest turns to the Rabbi & asks "Is it still a requirement of your faith that you not eat pork?"

The Rabbi responds "Yes, that is still one of our beliefs."

The Priest then asks "Have you ever eaten pork?"

To which the Rabbi replies "Yes on one occasion I did succumb to temptation & tasted pork."

The Priest nodded in understanding & went on with his reading. A while later, the Rabbi spoke up & asked the Priest, "Father, is it still a requirement of your church that you remain celibate?"

The Priest replied "Yes, that is still very much a part of our faith."

The Rabbi then asked him "Father, have you ever fallen to the temptations of the flesh?"

The Priest replied "Yes Rabbi, on one occasion I was weak & broke with my faith."

The Rabbi nodded understandingly for a moment & then said, "A lot better than pork isn't it?"
