A priest, a Pentecostal preacher, and a rabbi were debating the merits of their respective religions, and came up with a way to determine once and for all whose was the best. Each of them were to go into the woods and find a bear and try to convert him.
After a few days they met again. So, Father, how did you do?
"Faith and begorrah! I encountered that wee ursine and sprinkled him with holy water. This calmed him down enough that I quickly handed him a rosary and taught him the Hail Mary. Soon I had him studying his catechism, and this very moment he is on his knees at Our Lady of Perpetual Responsibility, confessing his sins!"
Very impressive! What about you, Reverend?
"Praise Jay-sus-uh! I found that hairy sinner and rassled him into the river, baptizing him in the blood of the lamb! Let me hear you say amen! Then I asked the Lord to heal the bear's sore paw, and Lo and Behold! He was healed! I dragged him into church, and praise Jay-sus-uh, he was born again before the whole congregation!"
All agreed that it was a wonder and a miracle. Then they turned to the rabbi, who was in a full body cast, covered with bite marks and scratches. What on earth happened, Rabbi?
"Oy," said the Rabbi. "Maybe it vasn't such a hot idea, starting out with the circumcision."
