The Pastor's Ass

I got this in a forwarded email from Mike's mom today. I think the moral of the story is important, thus the silly content is worth sharing.

The  Pastor's Ass

The  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 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.

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 . . 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  !

Have  a nice day !

Smiles!
