    Default 3 Holy Men & 3 Bears

    an old one might have been posted before


    A Catholic Priest, a Baptist Preacher and a Rabbi all served as Chaplains to the students of Northern Michigan University at Marquette in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan 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 to their religio Seven days later, they all came together to discuss their experiences.
    Father Torpey, who had his arm in a sling, was on crutches, and had various bandages on his body and limbs, went first 'Well,' he said, 'I went into the woods to find me a bear. And when I found him, I began to read to him from the Catechism.
    Well, 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 the Baptist, spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, had one arm and both legs in casts&IV/drip In his best fire-and-brimstone oratory, he exclaimed, 'WELL, brothers, you KNOW that we Baptists 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 quickly 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. Hallelujah!

    The Priest and the Reverend both looked down 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 really bad way.The Rabbi looked up and said: "Looking back on it, circumcision may not have been the best way to start."
