A priest, a rabbi, and a mortgage broker were all caught in a
shipwreck.
Sharks were soon circling around.
The sharks eat the priest.
The rabbi starts praying fervently, but to no avail, as the sharks eat him as well.
The mortgage broker is really getting worried, as a shark is coming for him. But instead the shark puts him on its back, carries him to shore, and lets him off.
The mortgage broker asks, “How come you didn’t eat me too?”
And the shark replied,”Professional Courtesy!”
