A rabbi and a priest were talking about the perks of each job. The priest mentioned that he gets a rectory to live in that comes with a housekeeper and a cook, all paid for by the church. The rabbi responded by asking if the priest could ever be promoted.
The priest said, “Well, yes, I could be asked to become the archbishop of a larger metro area like Chicago or New York.”
“Is that as high as you can go?” asked the rabbi.
