Mary: I feel like an idiot!?

Alexei: Why? What happened??

Mary: I just called the?bishop?over there “pope.”?

Alexei: That’s not so bad. You gave him a promotion. At least you didn’t call him “rabbi.”?

Mary: Don’t laugh! When I agreed to work at this?interfaith?conference, I didn’t know I’d need a?crash course?in identifying?religious?leaders from their dress.?

Alexei: It can’t be that hard. That man over there is clearly a?cardinal?and the woman next to him is probably a?minister?by the look of her?clerical collar.?

Mary: What about the man in?robes?over there??

Alexei: He’s probably a?lama?or a?guru. He’s definitely not an?imam, but I’m not entirely sure how I would?address?him.?

Mary: See what I mean? I keep saying the wrong thing.?

Alexei: These religious leaders don’t expect?laypeople?like you and me to know as much as they do about religious dress.?

Mary:?That’s what you think! I called that man over there “preacher” and he gave me a dirty look.?

Alexei: No wonder. He’s the?caterer.?
