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 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 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 $10.00. Next day the headline read: �NUN SELLS ASS FOR
$10.00�
This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back
the donkey, lead it to the plains where it could run wild and free.
Next day, the headline in the paper read: �NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS
IS WILD AND FREE�. The Bishop was buried the next day.
