The Barn

A Hindu, a rabbi, and a lawyer are travelling together and need to stop for the night. So they stop at the next farmhouse, and find lodging, with the qualification that the house is only big enough for two of them, and one will have to sleep in the barn. So the Hindu volunteers and goes out to sleep in the barn while the lawyer and rabbi sleep in the house.

A few minutes later, however, the lawyer and rabbi hear a knock on the door, and opening it, find the Hindu who protests

"There is a cow in the barn. Surely you can't expect me to sleep with cattle."

So the rabbi and the lawyer agree that perhaps the rabbi should trade places with the Hindu, and the rabbi goes out.

Within a short time, the Hindu and the lawyer are getting ready to go to sleep, when again there is a knock on the door. Opening the door they find the rabbi protesting,

"There is a pig in the barn. Surely you can't expect me to sleep with a pig!".

Weary of the whole problem by this time, the
lawyer pulls the rabbi into the house, grabs a
blanket and heads for the barn. Almost
immediately, there is a third knocking at the
door, and opening the door they find the pig and the cow.

"Surely you can't expect us to sleep with a
lawyer."
