The Pastor's backside

The Pastor's backside
.

The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won. The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again, and it won again.
The local paper read:

PASTOR'S backside OUT FRONT. 
The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the pastor not to enter the donkey in another race.
 The next day, the local paper headline read:

BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR'S backside. 
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 the next day:

NUN HAS BEST backside 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 paper read:

NUN SELLS backside FOR $10.
 This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild.
The next day the headlines read:

NUN ANNOUNCES HER backside IS WILD AND FREE. 
The bishop was buried the next day.

 The moral of the story is . . being concerned about public opinion can bring you much grief and misery . . even shorten your life. So be yourself and enjoy life. Stop worrying about everyone else's backside and you'll be a lot happier and live longer!

That is, perhaps, one of the best pieces of advise I have ever seen (or heard)!

That reminds me.....

"Where's your bicycle Vicar" I said, (because it was the first time I had seen him walking in 10 years!). "Don't know, I think it might have been stolen, but I will get it back on Sunday" he replied. "At my next sermon I will go through the ten commandments. When I get to 'thou shalt not steal' God will sort it out, I've got faith"
The following week, sure enough he was riding the bike again. So I asked him if the ten commandments thing had worked as planned: "I got as far as thou shall not commit adultery.......then I suddenly remembered where I left the bike.."
