The Great Sacrifice: Rabbi, Minister, Politician, and the Insurrection Joke

A rabbi, a minister, and a politician were standing in a very long line for Texas BBQ. With nothing else to do, they began discussing the greatest sacrifice each had made in life.

The rabbi spoke first. “I have given away everything I own to the poor, as a sign of true devotion.”

The other two nodded solemnly.

Next, the minister said, “I have served without pay, as a witness to the resurrection.”

Again, the other two nodded, smiling approvingly.

Finally, the politician sneered. “I’m shocked you both have done so little. I personally witnessed The Insurrection. And when the Capitol went up in flames, I sacrificed my entire life savings!”

The rabbi and the minister leaned in, stunned.

“Yes,” the politician added proudly, “I threw it straight into the fire… with a personal check.”
