A preacher wanted to raise money for his church
and on being told that there was a fortune in
horse-racing, 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
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 IN 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 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 the headlines read
NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE
The bishop was buried the next day.
