Is Sex Work or Play?
The Minister’s sermon cautioned the parishioners against having sex on the Sabbath because it is work…not play.
That didn’t seem quite right to Dave so he goes into a Catholic church and poses the question to a priest…is sex work or play?
“Sex is classified as work, my son, and must be avoided on the Sabbath,” says the priest.
Dave thanks him for his counsel and wonders what the hell a priest knows about sex, so he decides to visit a synagogue. There he confronts Rabbie Garfein who can draw upon the wisdom of a religion nearly 6000 years old.
“Well, my boy,” smiles the Rabbi. “Sex is most definitely play.”
Naturally Dave is pleased with this answer but asks the Rabbi on what basis he is so certain that it is play…not work.
“My boy,” sighs Rabbi Garfein, “if it were work, my wife would have the maid do it.”
