Van Meter IA | 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 and 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 the 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.'' | |
