Irish Priest in Texas

Good old Irish humour to brighten the day.

Seems that the good Father O'Malley rose from his bed on a beautiful spring day
in his new Texas mission parish.

He walked to the window of his bedroom to get a breath of fresh air of the new day.

But alas, Father O'Malley noticed that there was a dead jackass lying in the middle of the front lawn.

He promptly called the police station and the conversation went like this:

"Good morning, this is Sgt. Jones. How may I help you?"

"The best of the day to you my son. This is Father O'Malley at St. Brigid's.
There is a dead jackass in me front lawn. Would ye be so kind as to send a couple o' yer lads to take care of the matter?"

Sgt. Jones considered himself to be a comedian. He replied with a smirk,
"Well now Father, it was always my impression that you people took care of last rites."

There was a dead silence for a few moments, then Father O'Malley replied: " Aye, tis certainly true, but we are also obligated to notify the next of kin."

Gotta love those Irish priests!
