I hope this isn't a repost, I did two searches one, A Priest, a Preacher and a Rabbi and the punchline. Nothing found, strange the first should have found something? Here goes...

A Priest, a Pentecostal Preacher, and a Rabbi,

all served as chaplains to the students of

Northern Michigan University in Marquette.

They would get together two or three times

a week for coffee and to talk shop.

One day, someone made the comment that

preaching to people isn't really all that hard.

A real challenge would be to preach to a bear.

One thing led to another and they decided to

do an experiment. They would all go out into
the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and

attempt to convert it.

Seven days later, they're all together to

discuss the experience.

Father Flannery, who has his arm in a sling,

is on crutches, and has various bandages,

goes first. "Well," he says, "I went into the

woods to find me a bear. And when I found

him I began to read to him from the Catechism.

That bear wanted nothing to do with me

and began to slap me around. So I quickly
grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and,

Holy Mary Mother of God, he became as gentle

as a lamb. The bishop is coming out next week

to give him first communion and confirmation."

Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a

wheelchair, with an arm and both legs in casts,

and an IV drip.

In his best fire and brimstone oratory he claimed,
"Brothers, you KNOW that we don't sprinkle!

I went out and I FOUND me a bear. And then

I began to read to my bear from God's HOLY

WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do

with me. So I took HOLD of him and we began
to wrestle. We wrestled down one hill, UP

another and DOWN another until we came

to a creek. So I quick DUNKED him and

BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just like you

said, he became as gentle as a lamb. We spent

the rest of the day praising Jesus."

They both looked at the rabbi, who was lying

in a hospital bed. He was in a body cast,

and traction, with IVs and monitors running

in and out of him. He was in bad shape.

The Rabbi looks up and says,

"Looking back on it, circumcision may not

have been the best way to start."
