The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won.  
The  pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered in another race 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 any more  races.
                                                                  
The  next day the local paper headline read:  

BISHOP SCRATCHES THE  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:  

 
NUN HAS THE 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  headlines 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 high  plains where it could run free.


The next day the headlines read:

 NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS  WILD AND FREE.

Alas .... The  Bishop was buried the next day.

 

MORAL OF THE  STORY???  

Being  concerned about public opinion can bring you much grief and misery and even  shorten your life.  

So,  be yourself and enjoy life.

Stop  worrying about everyone else's ass and you'll live longer.
