Too good to not share

A Catholic Priest, a Baptist Preacher, and a Rabbi all served as chaplains to

the students of Northern Michigan University in Marquette . 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.

 

Seven days later, they all came together to discuss their experience.

 

Father Flannery, 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 he became as

gentle as a lamb. The Bishop is coming out next week to give him first communion

and confirmation.'

 

Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, had one arm and both legs

in casts, and had an IV drip. In his best fire-and-brimstone oratory, he

claimed, 'WELL, brothers, you KNOW that we 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.

 

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 shape.

 

The Rabbi looked up and said: "Looking back on it, ... circumcision may not have

been the best way to start."
