[jQuery] How to get the element number from a click event


Is there a simple method for determining the element number for a
click event?
Using this html code:
<P>Some Text</P>
<P>Some Text</P>
<P>Some Text</P>
<P>Some Text</P>
<P>Some Text</P>
Is there a click event that will tell you the element number of which
<P> was clicked on starting with 0 as the first one?
ie if you clicked on the first element it would tell you "element 0
clicked", if you clicked on the second element it would tell you
"element 1 clicked"
I figured out a way to do this by assigning an id to each <P> but I
was hoping there was a way to not need the id.
Thanks
