THE IRISH PRIEST
An Irish priest was transferred to Texas. Father O'Malley rose from
his bed one morning. It was a
fine spring day in his 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 te yerself. This is Father O'Malley at St. Ann 's Catholic Church.
There's a jackass lying dead in 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 dead silence on the line for a moment ...........................................
Father O'Malley then replied:
'Aye, 'tis certainly true; but we are also obliged to notify the next of kin.''
