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 farm 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 just cover your own !!! 

        You'll live longer!
