Preacher's Ass

THE PREACHER'S ASS

A preacher wanted to earn money for his church. He had heard there was big money in horse racing, so he decided to purchase a horse and enter it in a race. However, at the local auction, the going price for horses was too steep and the preacher ended up buying a donkey.

The preacher figured since he had the donkey, he might as well enter it in the races. The next day the donkey came in third place. The following day in the racing form the headlines appeared:
