The PriestÂ’s Ass
A priest in a local parish was searching for a way to raise money for his church one day, and a friendly parishioner informed the priest that there was a fortune to be made in horse racing. 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 great surprise, the donkey came in third!
The next day, the local paper carried this headline:
PRIESTÂ’S ASS SHOWS!
The priest was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the next race, and this time it won! The paper then read:
PRIESTÂ’S ASS OUT IN FRONT!
The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the priest to withdraw the donkey from any other races. The paper headline reported:
BISHOP SCRATCHES PRIESTÂ’S ASS!
This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the priest to sell the donkey. The priest decided to give the donkey to a nun in a nearby convent. The next dayÂ’s headline 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. The next day, the paper reported:
NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10.00.
The Bishop, incoherent with rage, ordered the nun to buy back the donkey, lead it to the plains, and release it where it could run wild and free. The following day, the paper reported:
NUN ASS IS WILD AND FREE!
The Bishop was buried the next day.
