These three men have been friends for many many years. In fact, they have been fishing buddies for about as long.
They were slowly getting bored with life, however, and all three decided to take up a cause for the church. Before they all left their separate ways, they agreed after 10 years they would all meet back at the same dock and relive their fishing past. After some hugs and handshakes, and a few tears, they departed one another.
Ten years pass, and they all arrive back on the dock and are amazed that the others had also devoted their lives into the ministry: One became a Catholic Priest, one a Protestant Minister, and the third a Jewish Rabi.
After some time exchanging stories and laughs, they rented a boat and headed out onto the lake, to relive the glorious past.
About an hour goes by and the Catholic Priest exclaims he needs to head the call of nature. He steps out of the boat, walks to shore and does his business, then returns to the boat.
Two hours go by and the Protestant Minister also has to use the bathroom, so he steps out of the boat, walks to shore and a few moments later returns to the boat.
Both times the Jewish Rabi watched this with awe. "I have faith just as strong as they do! Even more so, and I'll not hold myself any longer!" He announces he also has some 'natural business' to attend to, so stands up and steps out of the boat. Within seconds, he splashes down into the water.
It takes the other two a few moments to drag him back into the boat, sputtering and shouting. "I don't understand! I have faith! I believe! How is it I couldn't make it to shore?"
The other two looked at their old friend and chuckled.
The Protestant Minister places his hand on his friend's shoulder and says, "Dude, the rocks are on the other side of the boat, remember?"
