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 farm   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 just cover your  own !!!

You’ll be a lot  happier and live longer!
