A man wonders if having sex on Sunday 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, 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 Lutheran minister, who 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 very happy the way things are going with the reply, he wants to be sure that this is the way and
seeks out a Rabbi, a man of thousands of years tradition and knowledge. 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?”
The Rabbi softly speaks, “My son, if sex were work… my wife would have the maid do it”
