I have permission from Shuan to tell this.
Travelling together were a Rabbi, a Buddhist Monk and a Lawyer. It was
late and they were in the "middle of nowhere" when they saw a farmhouse.
They stopped at the farmhouse and asked the farmer if they could stay
for the night. The farmer said that he only had two extra beds so that
one of them would have to sleep in the barn.
The Rabbi volunteered and everyone went to sleep. Soon there was a knock
at the door. The farmer got up to to answer the door. It was the Rabbi
who said that there was a pig in the barn and he could not sleep with a
non kosher animal.
The Buddhist Monk agreed to sleep on the barn. Everyone went back to
sleep. Soon there was a knock at the door. The farmer got up to answer
it. It was the Buddhist Monk who said that there was a cow in the barn
and he could not sleep with a sacred animal.
So the Lawyer agreed to sleep in the barn. Everyone went back to sleep.
Soon there was a knock at the door. The farmer got up to answer it. It
was the pig and the cow.
