WHO HAS MORE SAINTS

A Muslim priest and a Catholic cleric were boasting about their religions.

“I bet you we have more saints than yours,” said the Catholic to his Muslim friend. “Oh yes?” he retorted. “Let’s make a bet. You mention a saint and for every name, you uproot a hair from each other’s head.”

“Okay,” the Catholic priest said. “You begin.”

“St. Mustapha,” the Muslim blurted out. He selected a long, thick hair from the head of the Catholic priest and pulled it out.

The Catholic priest retaliated, saying: “Sts. Peter and Paul,” likewise, uprooting two big hairs from his friend’s head.

The Muslim paused then said: “Sts. Ali Baba and 40 Companions.” A good 42 hairs!

Smarting from the big “harvest,” the Catholic priest grabbed all the remaining hairs of the Muslim and exclaimed: “Todos Los Santos” (All Saints).
