                                                   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.
       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 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 papers 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.
       The Bishop was buried the next day.
       The moral of the story is ...
       Being concerned about public opinion can
       Bring you much grief and misery.. It can
       even shorten your life...
       ..So be yourself and enjoy life to the fullest.
       Stop worrying about everyone else's ass
       and You'll be a lot happier and live longer!
       Have a nice day!
       And remember...Sharing is caring!
