A pope in the middle ages is trying to kick the Jews out of Rome... And the Jewish population is able to convince him to hear out their side first before making them leave. The pope agrees, but the only Jewish man who thinks himself to be a good enough debater is the rabbi, Moishe. But since Moishe only speaks Hebrew and the Pope only Latin and Italian, they agree to a silent debate. Everyone gathers in a courtyard, and the Pope begins by waving his hand in a circle around his head. Moishe responds by pointing straight at the ground below him. The Pope then replies by holding up three fingers, to which Moishe responds by holding up his middle finger. The Pope finally holds up the holy wine and bread for the eucharist, and Moishe holds up an apple. The Pope then steps down from his platform and admits defeat. When asked to explain, the Pope said this: ""First I showed him that God was everywhere, and he replied by saying that God was right here with us all. Then I showed him the Holy Trinity, to show him that our religions could never exist together; he then reminded me that though we have our differences, we share the same God. I then showed him the eucharist to remind him of Christ's sacrifice, and that wise man replied by showing me the apple, to symbolize the original sin of man which is shared by us all. At that point, I had to concede."" When posed the same question by a Jewish woman, Moishe said: ""First he said we had to go out, to anywhere else; I told him to go to hell, we're staying right here. Then he said we had three days to leave, and I told him *exactly* what I thought of *that* proposition."" The Jewish woman then asked, ""And that bit at the end?"" And Moishe replied, ""That was just us talking about our lunches.""
