The Pastor's Ass - A funny story with a great lesson

 

The 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 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 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 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 . . even shorten your life. So be yourself and enjoy life.

Stop worrying about everyone else's ass and you'll be a lot happier and live longer!

 

Have a nice day!

Good morning Diana Zaccaro,

I had a good laugh over your post! It is amazing how many care so much what others think instead of enjoying each day to the fullest!

Jon, I'm glad you liked it...reminds me of that quote "To thine own self be true". Wasn't that from Shakespear?

Hi Dorie,

I'm glad my post made you laugh. I must admit that when I was young(er), I sometimes cared too much about what other people thought but, as they say, with age comes wisdom. :)

Thanks, Carol! One thing I've learned is that people remember things better and longer if the point you want to make is conveyed in a humorous way. I think this story is a perfect example!

Hi Diana,
So true.  My husband used to do a lot of public speaking.  He always started with a funny story.  I love this one and just might share it on my Facebook page.
