Father O'Malley rose from his bed. 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.
"Good morning. This is Sergeant Jones. How might
I help you?"
"And the best of the day te yerself. This is Fadder
O'Malley at St. Brigit's. Dere's a jackass lyin dead
on me front lawn. Would ye be so kind as to send
a couple o' yer lads to take care of da matter?"
Sergeant Jones, considering himself to be quite a
wit, replied with a smirk, "Well now father, it was
always my impression that you peopl e took care
of the last rites!"
