A Priest and a Rabbi Compare Jobs

A Catholic Priest and a Jewish Rabbi were chatting one day when the
conversation turned to a discussion of job descriptions and the future.
"What position do you see yourself in a couple years from now?" asked
the Rabbi to the Priest. "Well, actually, I'm next in line for the
Monsignor's job," replied the Priest. "Yes, and then what?" ask the
Rabbi. "Well, I could become a Bishop," said the Priest. "Yes, and
then?" asked the Rabbi. "Well, if I work real hard and do a good job as
a Bishop, it's possible to become a Arch-Bishop" said the Priest.
"Okay, then what?" continued the Rabbi. The Priest, beginning to be a
bit exasperated replied, "With some luck and real hard work, maybe I
can become a Cardinal." "And then?" continued the Rabbi. The Priest is
really starting to get frustrated, but replies, "With lots and lots of
luck and some real difficult work and if I'm in the right place at
the right time and play my political games just right, maybe, just
maybe, I can get elected Pope." "Yes, and then what?" continued the
Rabbi. "Good grief!" shouted the Priest, "What do you expect me to
become, God?" "Well," said the Rabbi, "One of our boys made it!"

Dear Popeye,

If stupidity could fly you would be flying like a dove.

Popeye a dove? I think you need to do a bit more research on our
military/political metaphors.

Do you think that stupidity can fly? Then for me it doesn't matter if
it is dove, hawk or vulture

Actually, in our American culture, we don't ascribe much intelligence to our
feathered friends. We have terms like "bird brain" to insult people's
intelligence. If Polish people think birds are smarter than they are, maybe
all those Polak jokes have it right.

You mix up the romantic idea of doves with the not so
romantic biological evidence.

Romantic idea of doves? You Europeans are really sick with your depraved
sex habits. Aren't rubber chickens enough?
