Priest's Donkey

The parish was very poor and the priest tried everything he could to raise money. But the Bingo games didn't work, the spaghetti diners and pancake breakfasts din't work. He even tried raffling an old Ford and that didn't help. So the priest though of trying out horse racing. He went to a horse auction and settled on a donkey since a horse is too expensive for a poor parish.

He was a man of God, he had faith, and ran the donkey. It came in third. There was a little headline in the Racing Form next morning,
PRIEST'S ASS SHOWS.
The next race the donkey won, and the headline
read, PRIEST'S ASS OUT IN FRONT.
The bishop of the diocese said that the priest had better stop racing the donkey so the church could avoid bad publicity. The next days headline read BISHOP SCRATCHES PRIEST'S ASS and the bishop
was angry! He sent a message, demanding the racing to stop NOW.
He also told the priest to get rid of the donkey.

So the priest gave the donkey to the mother
superior of the convent down the road. The
headline read NUN RIDES PRIEST'S ASS IN TOWN and
the bishop passed out in his cornflakes.
The nun was so torn up with guilt that she sold the
donkey to a farmer just outside town. The
headline read NUN SELLS HER ASS FOR TEN DOLLARS.
They buried the bishop the next day.
