The Irish Priest

[B16Enk]

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.''
