A catholic priest says to his friend, the rabbi, that he has a perfect
way of eating for free in restaurants.
"I go in at well past 9.00 PM in the evening, eat several courses slowly, linger over coffee,port and a cigar. Come 2.00 AM, as they are clearing everything away, I just keep sitting there until eventually a waiter comes up and asks me to pay. Then I say: 'I've already paid your colleague who has left.'
Because I am a man of the cloth, they take my word for it, and I leave."

So the priest books them into a restaurant and come 2.00 AM they are both still quietly sitting there after a very full meal.
Sure enough, a waiter comes over and asks them to pay.
The priest just says: "I've already paid your colleague who has
left."
And then the rabbi adds: "And we're still waiting for the change.
