Don't Mess with a Priest
Father O'Malley rose from his bed one morning. It was a fine spring day in his new parish.
He walked to the window of his bedroom to get a deep breath of the beautiful day outside.
He then noticed there was a donkey lying dead in the middle of his front lawn. Not knowing who else to call, he promptly called the local police station.
The conversation went like this:
''Good morning. This is Sergeant Jones. How might I help you?And the best of the day t' yer good self."
This is Father O'Malley at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church. There's a donkey lying dead right in the middle of me front lawn "
Sergeant Jones, considering himself to be quite a wit, replied with a smirk, "Well now Father,it was always my impression that you people took care of the last rites!"
There was a momentary silence on the line and then Father O'Malley replied:
"Ah, to be sure, that is true; but we are also obliged to notify the next of kin."
