A pastor wanted to raise money for his church and on
being told that there was a fortune in horse
racing, decided to purchase one and enter it in the
races.

However at the local auction, the going price for a
horse was so high 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 local paper carried this headline:
PASTOR’S  ASS  SHOWSThe pastor was so pleased with
the donkey that he entered it in the race
again, and this time it won.
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 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 ten dollars. 
The next day the paper read: NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10.00
    
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.
