PREACHER'S ASS

A preacher wanted to raise money for his church and on being told that
>there was a fortune in horse racing, decided to purchase a horse 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.
>
>The 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, and let it go.
>
>Next day, the headline in the paper read: NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND
>FREE. The Bishop was buried the next day.
