Three friends, a Rabbi, a Hindu holy man and a lawyer,
had car trouble in the countryside and asked to spend the
night with a farmer.
The farmer said, “There might be a problem; you see,
I only have room for two to sleep, so one of you must sleep in the barn.”
“No problem,” chimed the Rabbi, “My people wandered in the
desert for forty years, I am humble enough to sleep in the barn for
an evening in their memory.”
With that he departed to the barn and the others bedded down for the night.
Moments later a knock was heard at the door; the farmer opened the door.
There stood the Rabbi from the barn.
“What’s wrong?” asked the farmer.
He replied, “I am grateful to you, good sir, but I can’t sleep in the barn.
There is a pig in the barn and my faith believes that is an unclean animal.”
His Hindu friend agreed to swap places with him.
But a few minutes later the same scene reoccurred.
There was a knock on the door.
“What’s wrong, now?” the farmer asked.
The Hindu holy man replied, “I too am grateful for your helping us out
but there is a cow in the barn and in my country cows are considered
sacred. I can’t sleep on holy ground!”
Well, that left only the lawyer to make the change.
He grumbled and complained, but went out to the barn.
Moments later there was another knock on the farmers door.
Frustrated and tired, the farmer opened the door,
and there stood…
The pig and the cow.
******************************
I asked a friend of mine by phone what he was doing.
He told me he couldn’t talk because he was working on
“Aqua-thermal treatment of ceramics, aluminum, and steel
while under a dangerously constrained environment.”
I was impressed.
Until the following day when I learned that meant he was
“Washing dishes with hot water under his upset wife’s supervision.”

I couldn’t decide whether to go to Salt Lake City or Denver for vacation,
so I called the airlines to get prices.
“Airfare to Denver is $300,” the cheery salesperson replied.
“And what about Salt Lake City?”
“We have a really great rate to Salt Lake—$99,”
she said, “but there is a stopover.”
“Where?”
“In Denver,” she said.
