One day, a rabbi goes to a psychologist and asks him, "Doctor, my son...I'm
terribly worried about him. He's almost 21 now, but I'm not sure of his
path in life."
"Don't worry, rabbi," the shrink assures. "Bring your son tomorrow and I
shall see him."
So off goes the rabbi quite happy.
The next day, the rabbi drags his son to the doctor as planned. The doctor
pulls the rabbi aside, and whispers, "I will give your son a test. I shall
place a Bible, some money, a picture of a little boy, and a bottle of wine
on my table. If your son picks up the Bible, he will become a rabbi, just
like you."
The rabbi smiled, and then asked, "And what if he picks up the money?"
"He will be a businessman."
"And the picture of a little boy?"
"Then he'll be a teacher. And if he takes the bottle of wine, alas, He
shall be an restaurant owner!"
The rabbi looks worried but agrees to wait outside while the tests run.
After ten minutes, the doctor runs out looking just as worried as the
rabbi, if not more so.
"Which has my son chosen, doctor?"
"Your son! He sat down, took the Bible in one hand, kissed the picture of
the boy, pocketed the money and then proceeded to have a drink!"
"What shall become of him, then?" asked the rabbi.
"Alas! He shall be a Catholic priest!"
