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.
