A Catholic Priest and a Rabbi were chatting one day when the conversation turned to a discussion of job descriptions and promotion1.
What do you have to look forward to in way of a promotion in your job? asked the Rabbi.
Well, I'm next in line for the Monsignor's job. replied the Priest.
Yes, and then what? asked the Rabbi.
Well, next I can become Arch-Bishop2. said the Priest.
Yes, and then? asked the Rabbi.
If I work real hard and do a good job as Arch-Bishop, it's possible for me to become a full Bishop. said the Priest.
O.K., then what? asked the Rabbi.
The Priest, begining to get a bit exasperated3 replied, With some luck and real hard work, maybe I can become a Cardinal4.
And then? asked the Rabbi.
The Priest is really starting to get mad now and replies, With lots and lots of luck and some real difficult work and if I'm in the right places at the right times and play my political games just right, maybe, just maybe, I can get elected Pope.
Yes, and then what? asked 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!
