The Pastors Ass

The Pastor's Ass


The Pastor entered his donkey in a race and
it won.

The Pastor was so pleased with the donkey
that he entered it in the race again
and it won again.


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 $10.
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.

The next day the headlines read:

NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE.

The Bishop was buried the next day.


The moral of the story is . . ... being
concerned about public opinion
can
bring you much grief and misery . . even shorten your
life.
