The rabbi
says, “A glass of Manichewitz® pinto grigio I’ll have. Manichewitz® kosher
wines have traditionally been almost undrinkably sweet, but there’s such a
thing as cultural loyalty.”
The
bartender says, “Coming right up,” and pours the rabbi’s wine. He slides the
glass across the bar and asks the rabbi, “Do you know that Manichewitz®’s
parent company since 1990 has been Bain Capital, the vulture capitalists that
gave us Mitt Romney?”
“I didn’t,”
the rabbi says, taking a sip of his wine and making the face people make when
they drink something cloyingly sweet. “When he ran against Mr. Obama in 2012, I
couldn’t stand him, but I’ve come to admire him as a result of his defiance of
that gonif Trump.”
“Hear
hear,” the Pope says, before informing the bartender that he’s going to have
Scotch and holy water. The bartender says the bar’s supply of holy water won’t
be replenished until Tuesday. The Pope chuckles and says, “Well, it’s a good
thing I always bring my own!” He reaches into his raiments or whatever and
produces a little vial of the referenced liquid. The bartender, relieved, mixes
his drink for him.
The Muslim
iman says, “Just ginger ale for me, my infidel friend, as the Koran forbids me
to imbibe alcohol.”
The
bartender pats his hand and says, “Not a problem, pally. We get a lot of
adherents to Islam in here.”
The three
men of God sip their drinks and watch the rain outside. The Pope, for the fun
of it, proposes a blind taste test, with himself as judge, to determine whether
the rabbi’s wine or the iman’s ginger ale is sweeter. The rabbi says, “Like fun
that sounds,” but the iman, arching his eyebrow censoriously at the Pope, says,
“I’ll pass.”
figures i don't get it.
