Pastor's Ass
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
entered 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!
That pesky free press...
Shalom!
