Work or Play?
A man wonders if having sex on Sunday is a sin because he is not sure if sex
is work or play.
So he goes to a priest and asks for his opinion on this question. After
consulting the Bible, the priest says, "My son, I am
positive that sex is work and is therefore not permitted on Sundays."
The man thinks: "What does a priest know about sex?"
So he goes to a Lutheran minister, who is a married man and experienced in
this matter. He queries the minister and receives
the same reply: "Sex is work and therefore not for the Sabbath!"
Not very happy the way things are going with the reply, he wants to be sure
that this is the way and seeks out a Rabbi, a man
of thousands of years of tradition and knowledge. The Rabbi ponders the
question, then states, "My son, sex is definitely play."
The man replies, "Rabbi, how can you be so sure when so many others tell me
sex is work?"
The Rabbi softly speaks, "My son, if sex were work ..... my wife would have
the maid do it!"
