The donkey

The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won.

The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered in another

race and it won again.

The local paper read: PASTOR''S-|-OUT FRONT.

The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the

pastor not to enter the donkey in any more races.

The next day the local paper headline read: BISHOP SCRATCHES THE

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:

NUN HAS THE BEST-|-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 headlines read: NUN SELLS-|-FOR $10.

This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back the

donkey and lead it to the high plains where it could run free.

The next day the headlines read: NUN ANNOUNCES HER-|-IS WILD AND

FREE.

The Bishop was buried the next day.

MORAL OF THE STORY???

misery and even shorten your life. So, be yourself and enjoy life. Stop

worrying about

everyone else''s-|-and you''ll live longer.
