What Would Others Think ....

A 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 newspaper 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 newspaper 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 farmer 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 and even shorten
your life.
So be yourself and enjoy life. You'll be a lot
happier and live longer!
