\"\"<\/a>A man asked a priest whether sex was work or pleasure and whether it was allowed on the Sabbath day. The priest said it is work and cannot be done on Sunday. The man thought it over and decided that the priest couldn\u2019t know anything about sex anyway because he is single. So he asked a minister.

The man thought it over and concluded that the Christian clergy really didn\u2019t qualify to answer the question since only the Jews had a prohibition against all work on the Sabbath. So he visited a rabbi. \u201cIs sex work or pleasure?\u201d he asked, \u201cand can sex be done on the Sabbath?\u201d \u201cIt cannot be work,\u201d said the rabbi.\u00a0 \u201cIf it were, my wife would have hired someone else to do it for her.\u201d<\/p>\n
