The donkey, the priest, the bishop, and the nun...

My friend CC sent me this. It's actually an old one (and I might have even already put it up in an earlier posting) but it's always worth a good irreverent laugh especially since it's a play on headline writing too:

The Priest's Ass

There was this Priest who kept a donkey. He found that it could run very fast and so he entered his donkey in a race and it won. The next day, the local paper carried the story on Page 1 with this headline:

PRIEST'S ASS OUT FRONT

The Bishop spilled his breakfast coffee when he saw the report. He was upset with the publicity that will result so he ordered the Priest not to enter the donkey in any more races.

Somehow the local paper got wind of it. The next day, its headline read:

BISHOP SCRATCHES PRIEST'S ASS

This was too much for the Bishop so he ordered the Priest to get rid of the donkey.

The Priest 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. When he recovered, he told the Nun she too had to get rid of the donkey so she sold it to a farmer for $10.

The next day the paper read:

NUN SELLS HER ASS FOR $10

All this was getting way too much for the Bishop. He ordered the Nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild.

The next day the headline read:

NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE

The Bishop was last seen in a strait-jacket.
