Subject: The Pastor's Ass

There was once a Pastor who owned a donkey which he trained like a greyhound.

One day,the Pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won.

The Pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it again the following week 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:

NOW 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 paper 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.

This the Nun duly did and next day the headlines read:

NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS NOW 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 . . even shorten your life.

So be yourself and enjoy life.

Stop worrying about everyone else's ass and you'll be a lot happier and live longer!
