A pastor wanted to raise money for his church and,
on being told there was a fortune in horse racing,
decided to buy one and enter it in the races.
However, at the local auction, the going price for a horse was
so high that he ended up buying a donkey instead.
He thought that since he had it, he might as well go ahead
and enter it in the race and, much to his surprise,
the donkey came in third.
The next day the local paper carried this headline:
PASTOR'S ASS SHOWS
The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he
entered it in the race again, and this time it won.
The local paper read:
PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT
The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he
ordered the pastor not to enter the donkey in another race.
The next day, the local paper headline read:
BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR'S ASS
This was too much for the Bishop, so he
ordered the pastor to get rid of the donkey.
The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent.
The local paper, hearing of the news, posted
the following headline the next day:
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 ten dollars.
The next day, the paper read:
NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10
This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the nun
to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild.
Headlines read:
NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS
IS WILD AND FREE
The Bishop was buried the next day!!
Keep it comin'!
