A boy decided that he wanted to become a rabbi when he grew up, so his father suggested that he go to speak to their shul rabbi to find out what the job entailed.
The boy went to meet the rabbi. "Ask me any question about the rabbinate," the rabbi declared, "and I'll give you the answer."
"Well, besides giving a sermon for about 15 minutes on a Shabbat morning, what else do you do all week?" the boy asked.
"You don't want to become a rabbi," the rabbi said. "With questions like that, you want to become the synagogue president!"
