A preacher was trying to raise money for his parish and he found out there was a great deal of money to be made in the horse racing business. However, at the horse auction, the prices of horses were too much and all he could afford was a donkey, which he bought.
Determined to make money for his parish, he entered his donkey in a race and to everyone's surprise it finished third. The next day, the
newspaper headline read: PREACHER'S ASS SHOWS.
The following week the preacher again entered the race and this time won! The newspaper headline read: PREACHER'S ASS SHOWS.
Annoyed by this kind of publicity, the preacher's Bishop suggested that the preacher not continue this activity. The headline read: BISHOP SCRATCHES PREACHER'S ASS.
The Bishop then demanded that the preacher get rid of the donkey.The preacher gave the donkey to a Nun in the local convent. The headlines read: NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN.
When he recovered from the shock, the Bishop ordered the nun to sell the donkey. When it was discovered that the Nun sold the donkey to a farmer for $10.00 the headline read: NUN PEDDLES ASS FOR TEN BUCKS.
