Pope and The Rabbi

Pope & The Rabbi - Thanks Jami

The Pope and the Rabbi had been arguing for some time over which religion, Christianity or Judaism was the best. Finally the Pope suggested that they settle the dispute in the fairest way possible, one round of golf. "However I'm getting on in years" continued the Pope "so I will choose someone from my clergy to represent me." "I too am no spring chicken" replied the Rabbi, "so I will do the same."

The two agreed this was fair and parted company agreeing to play the round in Israel in a fortnight.

Now the Pope new that none of his priests had the ability to represent Christianity. So he called Arnold Palmer and descrided the situation to him. Palmer agreed to represent the Pope, against the rules of the sgreement, and set off for Israel calling himself Father Palmer. The Pope stayed in Rome confident he would win the dispute with the Rabbi.

A week later Palmer returned and he came to see the Pope once more. "Well, what news?" the Pope asked, "Did you win?" "No,I didn't" replied Palmer. "WHAT!" exploded the Pope, "You are one of the best golfers in the world and you can't even beat a Jewish Rabbi." "He was very good" continued Palmer. "Went by the name of Rabbi Nickalaus."
