	A Rabbi and a Priest were sitting together on a train, and the Rabbi    
leans over and asks, "So how high can you advance in your organization?"
	The Priest says "If I am lucky, I guess I could become a Bishop."
	"Well, could you get any higher than that?" asks the Rabbi.
	"I suppose that if my works are seen in a very good light that I
might be made an Arch Bishop" said the Priest a bit cautiously.
	"Is there any way that you might go higher than that?"
	"If all the Saints should smile, I guess I could be made a Cardinal",
said the priest.
	"Could you be anything higher than a Cardinal?" probed the Rabbi.
	Hesitating a little bit, the Priest said "I supose that I could
be elected Pope, but..."
	So the Rabbi says "And could you be anything higher than that?, is
there any way to go up from being the Pope?"
	"What!!! I should be the Messiah himself!?!"
	The Rabbi leaned back and said "One of our boys made it."

I seem to recall that this joke was told by Myron Cohen about fifteen or
twenty years ago. I prefere to submit my own material, but that being in
short supply, I thought this would be a welcome change from Re: "Ya mama".
