A Priest, a Rabbi and a Baptist Minister were having Monday morning coffee together at the local restaurant. As they took turns regaling the others with their Sunday Services, the conversation turned personal, and ended with them debating which one was the better "soul winner." Finally they made a deal ( a bet for anyone else) with each other, to see who was the best Preacher. They would go separately into the woods the next morning, find a bear to convert, and would meet that night to determine the winner.

When they met for dinner the following evening, the Priest was jubilant. He had met a bear, said mass, and the bear was scheduled for his first communion the following Sunday. The Baptist Minister was even more elated. He had found a bear, had given that bear the full gospel, and having made a profession of faith, the bear was scheduled to be baptized on Sunday. Turning to the Rabbi, the two noticed for the first time that he was in a full body case. "Perhaps," said the Rabbi, "I should not have started with the circumscision."
