A rabbi and his two friends, a priest and a minister, played poker for small stakes once a week.
The only problem was that they lived in a very conservative blue-law town.
The sheriff raided their game and took all three before the local judge.
After listening to the sheriff's story, the judge sternly inquired of the priest:
"Were you gambling, Father?"
The priest looked toward heaven, whispered,
"Oh, Lord, forgive me!" and then said aloud:
"No, your honor, I was not gambling."
"Were you gambling, Reverend?" the judge asked the minister.
The minister repeated the priest's actions and said,
"No, your honor, I was not."
Turning to the third clergyman, the judge asked:
"Were you gambling, Rabbi?"
The rabbi eyed him coolly and replied,
"With whom?"
