THE IRISH PRIEST

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 to yerself.. This is Father O'Malley at St. Ann 's Catholic Church . There's a jackass lying dead on 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...........................................

Then Father O'Malley replied:  "Aye, 'tis certainly true; but we are also obliged to notify the next of kin.''

All meant in fun, I love my big brother, the former cop and I really love my hubby, the former cop.
