The Jackass
Father O'Malley rose from his bed. It was a fine spring day in New Texas mission 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 jackass lying dead in the middle Of his front lawn.
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 to yerself.
This is Father O'Malley at St. Brigid's There's a jackass lying dead In me front lawn. Would ye be so kind as to send a couple o' yer Lads to take care of the matter
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 last rites!"
There was dead silence on the line for a long moment.
Father O'Malley then replied: "Aye, tis certainly true, but We are also obliged to notify the next of kin."
