The Bishop's Dilemma
A preacher wanted to raise money for his church, and being
told that there was a fortune in horse racing decided to
purchase one and enter him in the races. However, at the
local auction, the going price for horses was so steep that
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.
To his surprise the donkey came in third. The next day, the
racing form carried this headline, Preachers Ass Shows.
The preacher was so pleased with his donkey that he entered
it in the races again and this time it won. The racing form
read, Preachers 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 Preachers 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 convent. The headline the next day read, Nun
Has Best Ass in Town. The Bishop fainted! He informed the
Nun to dispose of the donkey. She sold the donkey for $10.00.
The paper stated, Nun Peddles Ass for Ten Bucks.
They buried the Bishop the next day.
