A Catholic priest, a Pentecostal pastor and a Rabbi had a bet that they could go into the woods and convert a bear to their religion.
A week later they re-convened to see how they'd got on.

The RC priest said, "Well, he was a bit feisty at first but I sprinkled him with holy water, showed him my rosary beads and said three Hail Marys and he settled right down and was docile as a lamb. The Bishop is coming to give him his first communion next week."


The Pentecostal pastor said, "Well, I had to wrestle with him to get him into the river, but I held him under and when he came up baptised into the spirit he was praising the Lord. And we spent the afternoon singing the praises of God, so I'd say he's one of ours."


They turn to the Rabbi, who is in a full body cast. "What happened to you?"

"Well," said the Rabbi, "in hindsight it probably was not a good idea to start with a circumcision."
