Attempting to evict Jews from the Vatican

by rdadams@[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Dick Adams) Feb 5, 2008 at 01:17 AM

About a century or two ago, the Pope decided
that all the Jews had to leave the Vatican.
Naturally there was a big uproar from the
Jewish community. So the Pope made a deal. He
would have a religious debate with a member of
the Jewish community. If the Jew won, the Jews
could stay. If the Pope won, the Jews would
leave. The Jews realized that they had no
choice. So they picked a middle aged man named
Moishe to represent them. Moishe asked for one
addition to the debate. To make it more
interesting, neither side would be allowed to
talk. The pope agreed.
 
The day of the great debate came. Moishe and
the Pope sat opposite each other for a full
minute before the Pope raised his hand and
showed three fingers. Moishe looked back at him
and raised one finger. 

The Pope waved his fingers in a circle around
his head. Moishe pointed to the ground where he
sat. 

The Pope pulled out a wafer and a glass of
wine. Moishe pulled out an apple. The Pope
stood up and said, "I give up. This man is too
good. The Jews can stay." 

An hour later, the cardinals were all around
the Pope asking him what happened. The Pope
said: "First I held up three fingers to
represent the Trinity. He responded by holding
up one finger to remind me that there was still
one God common to both our religions. Then I
waved my finger around me to show him that God
was all around us. He responded by pointing to the
ground and showing that God was also right here
with us. I pulled out the wine and the wafer to 
show that God absolves us from our sins. He pulled 
out an apple to remind me of original sin. He had 
an answer for everything. What could I do?" 

Meanwhile, the Jewish community had crowded
around Moishe. "What happened?" they asked.
"Well," said Moishe, "First he said to me that
the Jews had three days to get out of here. I
told him that not one of us was leaving. Then
he told me that this whole city would be
cleared of Jews. I let him know that we were 
staying right here." 

"And then?" asked a woman. 

"I don't know," said Moishe. "He took out his
lunch and I took out mine."
