A horse that doesn't run is scratched
A preacher wanted to raise money for his church and being told that
there was a fortune in horse racing, he decided to purchase one and
enter it. However, prices for a horse were too steep so he bought a
donkey instead. So he entered it in a race. To his surprise, the donkey
came in third. The next day, the racing sheets carried this headline:
Preacher's Ass Shows.
The preacher was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it again
and this time he won. The headlines read: Preacher's Ass Out in Front.
The bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the
preacher not to enter the donkey in another race. Headlines read:
Bishop Scratched Preacher's Ass.
This was too much for the bishop. He ordered the preacher to get rid of
the animal. The preacher decided to give it to a nun at a nearby convent.
Headlines read: Nun Has Best Ass in Town.
The bishop fainted. He informed the nun that she would have to dispose
of the donkey. She finally found a farmer who was willing to buy it for
ten bucks. Headlines read: Nun Peddles Ass for Ten Bucks.
They buried the bishop the next day.
