Church, Newspaper and the Ass A priest wanted to raise money for the parish. Having been told that there was a fortune in horse racing, he decided to purchase a horse and enter him in the local races. To the priest's dismay, the going price for horses was too steep for his budget and he ended up buying an donkey instead. Dissapointed, but hopeful, he decided to enter the donkey in the races. To his surprise, the donkey came in third. The next day the racing sheets carried the following headline: "LOCAL PRIEST SHOWS HIS ASS" The priest was so please that he entered the donkey in the next race and this time it won! The paper read: "PRIEST'S ASS OUT IN FRONT" Unfortunately, the Bishop received the local paper and was greatly upset with this type of publicity. He ordered the priest not to enter the donkey in any more races. The paper printed this headline: "BISHOP SCRATCHES PRIEST'S ASS" This was too much for the Bishop. He ordered the priest to get rid of the animal. The preacher decided to give the donkey to a nun in a nearby convent. The headlines the next day read: "NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN" Seeing the paper, the Bishop fainted! After recovering, he informed the nun that she would have to dispose of the donkey. She finally found a farmer who was willing to buy it for ten dollars. The newspaper stated: "NUN PEDDLES ASS FOR TEN BUCKS" They buried the Bishop the next day. Nothing but Jokes by Nauman Faridi
