A Preacher wanted to raise money for
his church and, being told there were
fortunes in Race horses, he decided to
purchase one and enter it in the
races.However, at the local auction, the
going price for horses was so steep 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, and to his surprise the donkey
came in third. The next day the racing
sheets carried the headlines,

"Preacher's Ass shows"

The Preacher was so pleased with the
donkey that he entered it in the races
again and this time he won! The
papers said,

"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 newspaper printed
this headline,

"Bishop Scratches Preacher's Ass"

This was just too much for the Bishop
and he ordered the Preacher to get rid
of the animal. The Preacher decided to
give it to a nun in a nearby convent.
The headlines the next day read,

"Nun has the Best Ass in Town"

The Bishop fainted. He informed the
nun that she would have to dispose of
the donkey and she finally found a
farmer who was willing to buy it for
$10.00. The paper states,

"Nun Peddles Ass for Ten Bucks"

They buried the Bishop the next day.
