The Pastor's Ass

A pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won.

The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he

entered it in the race again, and it won again.

The local paper read...

PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT.

His Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that

he ordered the pastor not to enter the donkey in another race.

The next day, the local paper headline read:

BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR'S ASS.

This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered

the pastor to get rid of the donkey.

The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent.

The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following

headline the next day:

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.

The next day the paper read:

NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10.

This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered

the nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the

plains where it could run wild.

The next day the headlines read:

NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE.

Alas, the Bishop was buried the next day.

MORAL OF THE STORY?

Being concerned about public opinion can bring you much grief

and misery and even shorten your life. So, be yourself, take

care of your ass, and enjoy life, stop worrying about everyone else's

ass and you'll live longer and be a lot happier!
