Turning to the priest, the senior officer asks: "Father Shaunessy, were you gambling?"
The priest turns his eyes to heaven, murmuring "Lord, forgive me for what I am about to do." To the police officer, he then says, "No officer, it was just a social game."
The officer then asks the minister: "Pastor Fredrick, were you gambling?"
Again, after a message to heaven, the minister replies, "No, officer, I was not gambling."
Turning to the rabbi, the officer again asks: "Rabbi Goldschmitt, were you gambling?"
Shrugging his shoulders, the rabbi replies: "So with whom would I be gambling?"
