A lawyer and two friends--a Rabbi, and a Hindu holy man--had car
trouble in the countryside and asked to spend the night with a
farmer.

The farmer said, "There might be a problem. You see, I only have
room for two to sleep in the house. So one of you must sleep in
the barn."

"No problem," chimed the Rabbi. "My people wandered in the desert
for forty years. I am humble enough to sleep in the barn for one
evening." With that he departed to the barn, and the others bedded
down for the night.

Moments later a knock was heard at the door; the farmer opened
the door. There stood the Rabbi from the barn. "What's wrong?"
asked the farmer. He replied, "I am grateful to you, but I just
can't sleep in the barn. There is a pig in the barn, and my faith
believes that is an unclean animal."

His Hindu friend agrees to swap places with him. But a few minutes
later the same scene reoccurs. There is a knock on the door.
"What's wrong?" the farmer asks. The Hindu holy man replies, "I,
too, am grateful for your helping us out, but there is a cow in
the barn. In my country cows are considered sacred and I can't
sleep on holy ground!"

That left only the lawyer to make the change. He grumbled and
complained, but went out to the barn. Moments later there was
another knock on the farmer's door. Frustrated and tired, the
farmer opens the door, and there stood the pig and the cow.
