	Holy Men with Red Faces

A minister, a priest, and a rabbi went for a hike one very hot day.  They
were sweating freely by the time they came upon a small lake with a sandy
beach.  Since it was a secluded spot, they left all their clothes on a big
log, ran down the beach to the lake, and jumped in the water for a long,
refreshing swim.

Refreshed, they were halfway back up the beach to the spot they'd left their
clothes, when a group of ladies from town came along.  Unable to get to
their clothes in time, the minister and the priest covered their privates
and the rabbi covered his face while they ran for cover in the bushes.

After the ladies wandered on and the men got dressed again, the minister
and the priest asked the rabbi why he covered his face rather than his
privates.  The rabbi replied, "I don't know about you, but in MY
congregation, it's my face they would recognize."
