>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.
