A priest, a minister and a rabbi are on a train. After awhile the cards come out, and the bet is a quarter a hand. Pretty soon the Cardinal strolls by. With prescience the cards disappear just before the door opens, but the Cardinal is still suspicious.

"Father, were you gambling?"

"No, your imminence." The priest lies, hoping he can do pennance later.

"Reverend, were you gambling?"

"No, Cardinal." The minister lies, thinking it's okay to lie to a Catholic.

"Rabbi, were you gambling?"

The rabbi looks at the other two, shrugs his shoulders and says "With who?"
