As long as we're telling jokes...
A Jewish couple brings their toddler son to the local rabbi, who is known for his wisdom. They want to see if the rabbi can figure out what the boy will grow up to be.
The rabbi sets out the following in his office: a stack of money, an empty wine bottle, and a Bible.
The rabbi explains to the couple, "We will see which of these your son goes to-- if he goes to the money, he will be a banker. If he goes to the wine bottle, he'll be a drunk. And if he goes to the Bible, he will be a rabbi."
The couple sets their son down, and he proceeds to go the money, then to the bottle, and then to the Bible.
Confused, the couple looks up at the rabbi. "He went to all three-- what does this mean?" they ask.
"Oy, I have bad news," sighed the rabbi, "He's going to be a Jesuit."

My sister told me that one. Of course, having both Catholic and Jewish family members, I can appreciate it. :rolleyes:
God bless,

Perhaps I am sheltered, but all of the Jesuits I have ever met have been quite virtuous. There are definitely contentious voices in the order but I just don't get the joke either.
