A man wonders if having sex on the Sabbath is a
sin because he is not sure if sex is work or play.
So he goes to a Priest and asks for his opinion on
this question. After consulting the Bible, the
Priest says, "My son, after an exhaustive search,
I am positive that sex is work and is therefore not
permitted on Sundays." The man thinks, "What
does a priest know about sex?" So he goes to a
Minister, who after all is a married man and
experienced in this matter. He queries the Minister
and receives the same reply. Sex is work and
therefore not for the Sabbath! Not pleased with
the reply, he seeks out the ultimate authority, a
man of thousands of years of tradition and knowledge, i
n other words, he goes to a Rabbi. The Rabbi ponders
the question, then states, " My son, sex is definitely play."
The man replies, "Rabbi, how can you be so sure when
so many others tell me sex is work?" TheRabbi softly
speaks, "If sex were work, my wife would have the maid do it. "
