A preacher wanted to raise money
for his church and on being told that there was a fortune in horse
racing, he decided to purchase 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 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 PROMISE
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 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 next 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 ten dollars. The next day the paper read :
NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10.00
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.
The next day headlines read:
NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE
The Bishop was buried the next day.
