A Laugh A Minute

An Orthodox rabbi was walking down the street when he noticed one of his congregants, Moishe, entering a Chinese restaurant across the street.

The rabbi crossed the thoroughfare to peer through the restaurant window and observe what his congregant was doing in the traif (non-kosher) eatery.

Moishe ordered spare ribs and fried shrimp. The rabbi, aghast, continued to watch.

Soon, the waiter brought the spare ribs and shrimp. Moishe was eagerly devouring the meal when the shocked rabbi, no longer able to contain himself, burst into the restaurant to confront him.

"Moishe! Stop!" the rabbi shouted. "How could you do this? How could you eat this food? It's ribs and shrimp. It's traif!"

"Hold on, just a second" said the congregant. "Rabbi, did you see me walk into this restaurant?"

"Yes, I did," replied the rabbi.

"Did you see me sit down at this table?"

"Yes, I did," the rabbi answered.

"Did you see me order my meal?"

"I most certainly did," said the rabbi.

"Did you see the waiter bring this food to my table?" Moishe asked.

"Yes, I did," the rabbi affirmed.

"Did you see me eating the ribs and the shrimp?" asked Moishe.

"Yes, I did. I watched you the entire time!" exclaimed the rabbi.

"Well, then," Moishe said calmly, "What's the problem? It was all done under rabbinical supervision.
