Story for the ages!!

  I received this in an email from a friend of mine.  The message is so clear and important, I wanted to share it with as many as possible. 

   

  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
  ASS 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 ASS.
   
  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 ASS 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 ASS 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 ASS 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 ass and
  you'll be a lot happier and live longer!
   
  Have a great day!
