[lfjokes] Ass and the Priest

[Simondo]

From: simondo <simondo at paradise.net.nz>

A preacher wanted to raise money for his church and 
on being told that there was a fortune in horse 
racing, decided to purchase one and enter it 
in the races. However at the local auction, the going 
price for  horses was so  high that he ended up buying 
a donkey instead. He  figured that since he had 
it, he might as well go ahead and enter it in the 
races. 
  

To his surprise, the donkey came in third! 
  

The next day the local paper carried this headline: 
  

PREACHER'S ASS SHOWS 
  

The preacher was so pleased with the donkey that he 
entered it in the race  again, and this time it won. 
  
The paper read: 
  

PREACHER'S ASS OUT IN FRONT 
  

The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity 
that he ordered the preacher not to enter the donkey 
in another race. 
  

The paper headline read: 
  

BISHOP SCRATCHES PREACHER'S ASS 
  

This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the 
preacher to get rid of   the donkey. The preacher 
decided to give it to a nun in a nearby  convent. 
  
The paper headline the next day read: 
  

NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN 
  

The Bishop fainted. He informed the nun that she 
would have to get rid of  the donkey, so she sold it 
to a farmer for $10.00. 
  

Next day the headline read: 
  

NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10.00 
  

This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the 
nun to buy back the donkey, lead it to the plains 
where it could run wild and free. 
  
Next day, the headline in the paper read: 
  

NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE 
  

The Bishop was buried the next day.
