If you spend any amount of time watching the news, you already realize that it is not always going to be the most accurate information out there. They may do their part to keep it as accurate as possible but they are also going to sensationalize it, and they do it for a very specific reason. I’m sure that you know that ‘bad news sells’ but the news stations are also familiar with that fact. They will sometimes make up sensational headlines in order to draw you in, and that is what you see in the following joke. In fact, things go from bad to worse and you will be laughing out loud by the time it is over.
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 NOW 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 miseryeven 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.
