There was this preacher who was an avid golfer. Every chance
he could get, he could be found on the golf course swinging
away. It was an obsession.
One Sunday was a picture perfect day for golfing. The sun
was out, no clouds in the sky, and the temperature was just
right. The preacher was in a quandary as to what to do, and
shortly, the urge to play golf overcame him. He called an
assistant to tell him that he was sick and could not do church,
packed the car up, and drove three hours to a golf course
where no one would recognize him.
Happily, he began to play the course. An angel up above was
watching the preacher and was quite perturbed. He went to God
and said, "Look at the preacher. He should be punished for
what he is doing." God nodded in agreement.
The preacher teed up on the first hole. He swung at the ball,
and it sailed effortlessly through the air and landed right
in the cup three hundred and fifty yards away. A picture
perfect hole-in-one. He was amazed and excited.
The angel was a little shocked. He turned to God and said,
"Begging your pardon, but I thought you were going to punish
him."
God smiled. "Think about it -- who can he tell?"
A priest wanted to raise money for his church and on being
told 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: "PRIEST'S ASS SHOWS."
The priest 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 priest 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 priest to
get rid of the donkey. The priest 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 farmer for ten
dollars. 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.
