- Abstract
An Indian, a Jew, and Newt Gingrich are driving in the countryside one evening and have engine trouble. They seek help in a nearby farmhouse. The farmer assures them that nothing can be done until the following morning but offers to let them spend the night. Unfortunately, there are only two spare beds inside the house, but the third person is welcome to sleep in the barn. The Jew goes off to sleep in the barn. A few minutes later there's a knock on the door, and it's the Jew. He says that there's a pig in the barn, and because of his religion, he's uncomfortable sleeping there. The Indian offers to go. A few minutes later there's a knock on the door, and it's the Indian. He says that there's a cow in the barn, and for religious reasons he would prefer not to sleep there. Newt Gingrich offers to go. A few minutes later there's a knock on the door . . . and it's the pig and the cow.
