A Hindu, a Jew and a televangelist...

A Hindu, a Jew, and a televangelist are driving down a desolate road late at night, when suddenly the car breaks down in front of a farm. They decide to see if the folks who live on the farm will let them sleep there for the night so they can call a tow truck in the morning.

They knock on the door of the house, and after hearing of their situation, the farmer says, "I'd be glad to give you accommodations for the night. I only have two spare beds, though, so one of you will have to sleep in the barn." The Hindu says, "No problem. I'll sleep in the barn. You guys sleep comfortably." The Hindu goes out to the barn and the Jew and televangelist get ready for bed.

Five minutes later there's a knock on the door. The farmer opens it and there stands the Hindu. The Hindu says, "I'm really sorry about this, but there's a cow in that barn, and cows are sacred to my people. Knowing that that cow is eventually going to become food makes me feel like I can't in good conscience share a room with it." The Jew says, "That's no problem. I'll sleep out in the barn. You take the other spare bed."

Five minutes later there's a knock on the door. The farmer opens it and there stands the Jew. He says, "I noticed there was a pig in that barn. My people are not allowed to eat pork on Fridays, and knowing that that pig is being raised to eventually become pork just makes me feel too uncomfortable to sleep in that barn with it." The televangelist immediately says, "Don't worry about it--I understand. Go back and take the bed you were going to sleep in and I'll gladly sleep in the barn. I'm sure nothing in there will bother me."

Five minutes later there's a knock on the door. The farmer opens the door, and there stand the cow and the pig.
