20. Penseivat

“A Rabbi and Catholic priest share a railway compartment on their way to an interdenominational conference. After a brief general chat, the priest asks the Rabbi if he would answer a personal question? The Rabbi agrees, and was asked if he had ever eaten pork, something forbidden in the Jewish religion. The Rabbi eventually admits that he had eaten pork, and then asks the priest to answer a similar personal question. The priest agrees to do so. The Rabbi asks if the priest has had sex with a woman after joining the priesthood, where he is expected to be celibate? A brief silence, then the priest admits that he had done so. The Rabbi leans forward and, softly, says, “It’s better than pork, isn’t it?” “

Twenty-six days after being appointed—a record under the Fifth Republic—Sébastien Lecornu has named the first part of his government. Unsurprisingly, Bruno Retailleau has been reappointed as Minister of the Interior, as has Gérald Darmanin as Minister of Justice, Jean-Noël Barrot as Minister of Foreign Affairs, Élisabeth Borne as Minister of National Education, and Manuel Valls as Minister of Overseas Territories.
