A minister, a priest and a rabbi went for a hike one very hot day.
They were sweating profusely 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."
