The Priest's Racing Dunkey
A priest wanted to raise money for his church, and began looking for a way to do so. Someone told him a fortune could be made in horseracing. At a local auction, the prices of horses were beyond his means, so he decided to but a donkey instead. He figured that since he had the donkey, he'd enter it in the race. He did, and to his surprise the donkey came in third. The next day the racing sheet carried this headline:
"PRIEST'S ASS SHOWS"
The priest was so pleased with his donkey's showing that he decided to enter him again the next day. To his utter amazement, the donkey won. The next day the racing sheet printed this headline:
"PRIEST"S ASS OUT IN FRONT"
The priest's Bishop was so upset by such publicity that he ordered the priest not to enter the donkey in anymore races. The racing sheet the next day had this headline:
"BISHOP SCRATCHES PRIEST"S ASS"
This was too much for the Bishop so he ordered the priest to dispose of the donkey. The priest gave the donkey to a nun in a nearby convent, and the next day the headline was:
"NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN"
When he read this, the Bishop fainted, and when he came to he ordered the nun to get rid of the donkey. She sold it to a farmer for $10.00 and the next day the headline read:
"NUN PEDDLES ASS FOR TEN BUCKS"
They buried the Bishop the next day ! ! ! ! ! !
