The Silent Debate
Several centuries ago, the Pope decreed that all Jews must convert to Catholicism or leave Italy.
The Jewish community protested, so the Pope offered a deal: he would have a religious debate with a representative of the Jewish community.
If the Jews won, they could stay. If the Pope won, they would have to convert or leave.
The Jewish community chose an aged and wise Rabbi to represent them.
However, since the Rabbi spoke no Italian and the Pope spoke no Hebrew, they agreed to conduct a silent debate.
On the chosen day, the Pope and the Rabbi sat across from each other.
The Pope raised his hand and held up three fingers.
The Rabbi responded by holding up one finger.
Next, the Pope waved his finger in a circle around his head.
The Rabbi pointed to the ground where he sat.
The Pope then brought out a communion wafer and a chalice of wine.
The Rabbi reached into his bag and pulled out an apple.
At that, the Pope stood up and declared himself defeated. The Rabbi, he said, was too clever.
The Jews could stay in Italy!
Later, the cardinals gathered and asked the Pope what had happened.
The Pope said, “First, I held up three fingers to represent the Trinity. He responded with one finger to remind me that there is only one God shared by both our beliefs.
Then I circled my finger around my head to show that God is everywhere. He pointed to the ground to show that God is also right here with us.
Finally, I presented the wine and wafer to represent salvation. He produced an apple to remind me of original sin. He bested me at every turn, and I could not continue.”
Meanwhile, the Jewish community gathered around the Rabbi and asked how he had won.
“I don’t have a clue,” the Rabbi said.
“First, he told me we had three days to get out of Italy, so I gave him the finger.
Then he tells me that the whole country would be cleared of Jews, so I told him that we were staying right here.”
“And then what?” someone asked.
“I don’t know,” said the Rabbi. “He took out his lunch, so I took out mine!”

But You Were 147 Votes Short
Famous dentist Sam and his wife were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary.
Sam looked at his wife’s face for a moment and asked, “Darling, did you ever cheat on me in these fifty years?”
The woman, quite surprised by her husband’s question, remained silent for a while.
“If my answer is yes, wouldn’t your opinion of me change? Do you still want to know despite everything?”
“No, my love, it wouldn’t change, and I really do want to know. Please tell me.”
“Since you want to learn, yes, darling, I cheated on you three times,” the woman replied.
“Who were these people?” Sam asked.
“The first one,” the woman began to explain, “remember when you were 30 years old and wanted to open your own clinic, but no bank manager would give you a loan? Then one bank manager came to the house. Without asking anything, he had you sign all the papers, and you were able to open your clinic with ultra-modern equipment. Do you remember?”
“Ahhh, my darling. So you sacrificed yourself for me, my dear wife,” Sam said. “And the second one?”
“Remember when you had a heart attack at 39, and you needed critical bypass surgery, but no doctor had the courage to do it? You could have died any moment. Dr. Halery got up from all that distance, came, performed your surgery, and brought you back to life,” his wife said.
“Ahhh, my beloved wife, so you sacrificed yourself once more to save my life, is that right? And the third infidelity?”
“Do you remember? Years ago, you were 43 and wanted to become the president of the dentists’ chamber, but you were 147 votes short…”
