The priest in a small Malaysian town loved his chickens
that he kept in the coop behind the church. One Sunday morning
before church, he went to feed the birds and discovered that the
cock was missing. He knew about the cock fights in the village, so
he decided to question his parishioners in church.
During mass, he asked his congregation, “Has anybody got a
cock?”
All the men stood up.
“No, no, that wasn't what I meant. Has anybody seen a
cock?”
All the women stood up.
“No, no, that wasn't what I meant either. Has anybody seen a
cock that doesn't belong to them?”
Half the women stood up !
“No, no, no, that wasn't what I meant. What I really really mean
is, has anybody seen MY cock?”
Sixteen altar boys, four wardens and a goat stood
up.
