A priest 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 (also called an ass) 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:
PRIEST'S ASS SHOWS
The priest was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race
again, and this time it won. The paper read:
PRIEST'S ASS OUT IN FRONT
The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the
priest not to enter the donkey in another race. The paper headline read:
BISHOP SCRATCHES PRIEST'S ASS
This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the priest to get rid of the
donkey. The priest 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.
