A Hindu, a Jew, and Newt Gingrich are driving along a rural road at night when their car breaks down. They walk to the nearest farmhouse and ask the farmer if he can put them up for the night.

The farmer was accommodating, but explained there was only room for two in the house; one of them will have to sleep in the barn.

The Hundu guy steps forward and says "OK, I will volunteer," and he goes out to the barn.

A couple minutes later there's a knock at the door. It's the Hindu. "I'm so sorry, but there is a cow in the barn; cows are sacred in my country, and my religion does not permit me to sleep with a cow."

The Jewish guy says "The car's broke down, the trip is ruined, and I've never even been in a barn but I might as well go sleep in one now." The Jew goes out to the barn.

A couple minutes later there's a knock at the door. It's the Jewish guy. "G-dammit why didn't you tell me, you coulda saved me the trip -- there's a pig in the barn! Pigs are not kosher; no way in hell am I gonna sleep with a pig."

Newt Gingrich looks around, says "I'm elected!" and goes out to the barn.

A couple minutes later there's a knock at the door. It's the pig and the cow.
