A priest wanted to raise money for the church. He was told that there was a
fortune in horse rasing, so he decided to purchase a horse and enter it in
a race. However, at an auction, the going price for a horse was so steep
that he decided to buy a donkey and race it. To his surprise, the donkey
came in third. The next day the racing sheet carried the headline, "PRIEST'S
ASS SHOWS." The priest was pleased with the donkey and entered it in another
race. This time it won. The paper reported, "PRIEST'S ASS OUT IN FRONT." The
bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity, that he ordered the priest
not to enter the donkey in any more races. The paper read, "BISHOP SCRATCHES
PRIEST'S ASS." This was just too much for the bishop, so he ordered the
priest to get rid of the donkey. The priest gave the donkey to a nun at a
nearby convent and the headline read, "NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN." The bishop
fainted. He informed the nun that she would have to dispose of the donkey.
She sold it to a farmer for $10 and the newspaper reported, "NUN PEDDLES ASS
FOR TEN BUCKS." They buried the bishop the next day.
