The Pastor's Ass

[Dominus_Potior]

The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won.

The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he
entered in another race 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 any more races.

The next day the local paper headline read:

BISHOP SCRATCHES THE 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:

NUN HAS THE 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 $10.

The next day the headlines 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 high plains where it could run
free.

The next day the headlines read:

NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE.

Alas The Bishop was buried the next day.

MORAL OF THE STORY???

Being concerned about public opinion can bring you much
grief and misery and even shorten your life.

So, be yourself and enjoy life.

Stop worrying about everyone else's ass and you'll live
longer.

True story:

I worked as a bellman in college. Among our duties were posting on the marquee the names of groups having conventions at the hotel.

One of our staff consistently demonstrated poor SA.

He posted the required information upon the marquee during his evening shift.
Limited space sometimes required the use of abbreviations...

When the first bellman came on duty the following morning, he quickly made some minor adjustments to the marquee and left a note regarding the posting for the Assembly of God convention.

He recommended that "assembly" be abbreviated "asmb".
