A pastor wanted to raise money for his church, and on being told that
there was a fortune to be made in horse racing, decided to purchase one and
enter it in the races. At the local auction, however, the going price for a
horse was so high that he ended up buying a donkey instead. He figured since he
had it, he might as well go ahead and enter it in the races, and to his
surprise, the donkey came in third.

The next day the local paper carried this headline: "Pastor's Ass Shows".
The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race
again, and this time it won!

The local paper read: "Pastor's Ass Out Front". The 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 read: " Bishop Scratches Pastor's Ass".

The bishop was fit to be tied. 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 the news, posted this 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 ten dollars.

The next day, the paper read: "Nun Sells Ass For $10.00". After the bishop
was revived, 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".

The bishop was buried the next day.
