Time is up and the last ballot would be highly unlikely to change the outcome anyway. Our winner with 11 votes is jono @16 with the clever &lit-tish:

Bishop, Priest and biblical figure almost certainly do! (7)

Like mathprof, I saw a setup reminiscent of "3 men walk into a bar..." jokes, and he may have anticipated the prize I had selected but I am not about to try and find a different one:

Congrats jono (my favourite) and thanks buddy.

The pub jokes reminded me of this story:
A man was going in to his local, when a nun outside said
"Don't go in there sir, the drink is evil".
"How do you know it's evil; have you ever had one?"
"No sir, never a drop has passed my lips"
"So how can you condemn it if you have never tried it?"
"You are right, sir, perhaps I ought to try it"
"What would you like, then; I'll buy one for you"
"Well, I've heard that gin is the worst, but could you ask for it in a plastic cup, as no-one must see that I'm drinking"
So the man goes into the pub and asks for a pint of bitter and a gin in a plastic cup. The barman says
"Oh no, not that flaming nun again!"
