Preacher's Donkey
I got this in my email a few times..duno if yall have read it before!
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 hat he ended up buying a donkey. 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 next day the headlines 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, so the papers the next day 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. Next day the headlines were:
"NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN"
Upon reading this 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, and the next day the headlines read:
"NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10.00."
This was too much for the bishop to take, so he ordered the nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild and free. Headlines the next day were:
"NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE"
Next day the Bishop was buried.
