A pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won. The pastor was
so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again,
and it won again. The local newspaper read: PASTOR'S ASS OUT
FRONT.
The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered
the pastor not to enter the donkey in another race. The next day,
the local newspaper headline read: BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR'S
ASS.
This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the pastor to get
rid of the donkey. The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a
nearby convent. The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the
following headline the next day: 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. The next day
the paper read: NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10.
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.... The moral of the story
is.... Being concerned about public opinion can bring you much
grief and misery... and even shorten your life.So be yourself and
enjoy life..... You'll be a lot happier and live longer!
