An Irish priest and a rabbi found themselves sharing a compartment on a

train.  After a while, the priest opened a conversation by saying, I

know that in your religion  your're not supposed to eat pork . . . Have

you actually ever tasted it?"

The rabbi said, "I must tell the truth,  Yes, I have on the odd

occasion."  Then the rabbi had his turn of interrogation.  He asked,

"Your religion too . . . I know you're supposed to be celibate.  But . .

The priest replied, "Yes, I know what you're going to ask.  I have

succumbed once or twice."

There was silence for a while.  Then the rabbi peeped around the

newspaper he was reading and said, "Better than pork, isn't it?"
