Clerical Advancement

A Catholic Priest and a Rabbi were chatting one day when the conversation turned to a discussion of job descriptions and promotion.

"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 Bishop," said the Priest.

"Yes, and then?" asked the Rabbi.

"If I work real hard and do a good job as Bishop, it's possible for me to become an Archbishop," said the Priest.

"O.K., then what?" asked the Rabbi.

The Priest, beginning to get a bit exasperated, replied, "With some luck and real hard work, maybe I can become a Cardinal."

"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!"

Listen up, buttercup. This joke is all about a priest and a rabbi yapping about job promotions. The priest lists all the fancy titles he could get, like Monsignor, Bishop, Archbishop, Cardinal, and even Pope. But the rabbi keeps asking, "And then what?" Finally, the priest gets mad and says, "What do you expect me to become, God?" Then the rabbi drops the bomb: "One of our boys made it!" The joke is that a Jew became God. Get it? Probably not, because you're clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed.
