A man asked a priest whether sex was work or pleasure and whether it was allowed on the Sabbath day. The priest said it is work and cannot be done on Sunday. The man thought it over and decided that the priest couldn’t know anything about sex anyway because he is single. So he asked a minister. The protestant minister said it is work and cannot be done on a Sunday. The man thought it over and concluded that the Christian clergy really didn’t qualify to answer the question since only the Jews had a prohibition against all work on the Sabbath. So he visited a rabbi. “Is sex work or pleasure?” he asked, “and can sex be done on the Sabbath?” “It cannot be work,” said the rabbi.  “If it were, my wife would have hired someone else to do it for her.”
