<title> Power of the Press – Joke 39 </title>
<B><P>Power of the Press<BR>
</B>A preacher wanted to raise money for his church, and being told there was a fortune in horse<BR>
racing, he decided to purchase a horse and enter it in the races. However, at the local auction,<BR>
the going price for horses was so high that the preacher settled on a donkey instead. The preacher<BR>
figured, since he bought the animal, he might as well race it. To his great surprise, the donkey<BR>
did quite well and came in third place. The next day, the racing sheets carried this headline:<BR>
Preacher Shows Ass<BR>
<BR>
The preacher was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the races again, and this time<BR>
the animal won first place. The paper said: Preacher's Ass Out In Front<BR>
<BR>
The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the preacher not to<BR>
enter the donkey in any more races. The newspaper printed this headline: Bishop Scratches Preacher's Ass<BR>
<BR>
This was too much for the Bishop and he ordered the preacher to get rid of the donkey. The preacher decided to give the animal to a nun in a local convent. The next day, the headlines read: Nun Has Best Ass In Town<BR>
<BR>
The Bishop fainted. When he came around, he informed the nun that she would have to dispose of<BR>
the donkey. The nun searched, finally finding a farmer willing to buy the animal for ten dollars.<BR>
The paper stated: Nun Peddles Ass for Ten Bucks!<BR>
<BR>
They buried the Bishop the next day.</P>
