| Two priests came to meet a bishop. While waiting to see the bishop, one of the church's servants served them some coffee and cakes. One of the cakes was a bit larger than the others. So the first priest said, "After you." The other priest replied, "No, after you." The first priest then said, "No, I insist. You take the first choice!" This went on until finally one of the priests helped himself first to the big piece of cake. The other priest was visibly outraged. The one who had taken the cake said, "What?" The angry priest replied, "You served yourself first, and you took the bigger cake!" The first priest said, "So? If you had chosen first, which cake would you have taken?" "Why, the smaller one naturally." So the first priest said, "Well, then what are you complaining about? You got what you wanted, didn't you?" |
