Walking on Water

"Walking on Water"

Two Rabbis and a priest go fishing. When the three
are out on the water, one Rabbi says, "Oops, I left
the cooler in the trunk, I'd better go get it or we won't
be able to eat or drink."

The rabbi proceeds to jump out of the boat and hop
across the water. A few minutes later, he comes
hopping back across the lake with the cooler.

The priest sees this and shakes his head in disbelief.
He thinks to himself "Theres only one person I know
who can do that and I doubt he's a Rabbi."

A couple of minutes later, the other Rabbi says, "Oh
no, I left my lucky fishing hat in the car. Nobody ever
catches a fish unless I have that hat on." He then
proceeds to get out of the boat and hop across the
water to the shore. A minute later he comes hopping
across the lake back into the boat.

Now the priest is in absolute disbelief. He thinks,
"Hmm, there must be something in the water. I'm
going to try this."

The priest says, "Uh-oh, I left my keys in the car.
Wouldn't want to lose those." He then steps out of
the boat and falls in the water. He gets out again
and once again goes *splash*.

The two rabbis look at each other and one of them
says, "Do you think we should tell him where the
stepping stones are?"

"Wading Across the River"

Bill Clinton, Al Gore and George W. Bush died and
found themselves standing on the other side of the
Jordan River looking across at the Promised Land.

The Archangel Michael was standing on the other
side and shouted over to the three surprised Americans,
"Contrary to what you have been taught, each of you
will have to wade across the Jordan River."

As Michael saw their perplexed looks, he assured
them by saying, "Don't worry. You will sink only
proportionally, according to your sins on earth. The
more you have sinned, the more you will sink into the
water."

The three American sages of political lore looked at
one another, trying to determine who would be the
first brave soul to cross the Jordan River.

Finally, George W. Bush volunteered to go first. Slowly
he began to wade out into the river, and slowly the
water began to get higher and higher, reaching to his
waist. George began to sweat, thinking of all his sins
that were coming back to haunt him. He was beginning
to wonder if he would ever see the other side. Finally,
after what seemed like an eternity, he began to emerge
on the river's bank.

As he ascended to the other side, he looked behind him
to see which one of the other brave souls was going next.
A shock of surprise registered on his face, as he saw Al
Gore almost in the middle of the river, and the water was
only up to his ankles.

He turned to Michael and exclaimed, "I know Al Gore. Al
Gore is a friend of mine, and he has sinned much, much
more than that!"

Before the Archangel Michael could reply, Al Gore shouted
back, "I'm standing on Clinton's shoulders!"
