"Power of the Press" joke

A Preacher wanted to raise money for his church, and being told that there was
a fortune in horse racing, he decided to purchase one and enter him in the
races.
However at the local auction, the going price for horses was so steep that he
decided to buy a donkey instead. He figured that since he had it, he might as
well go ahead and enter it in the races and to his surprise, the donkey came
in Third. The next day the racing sheets carried this headline........
PREACHER'S ASS SHOWS
The preacher was so pleased with the donkey, that he entered in the race again
and this time it won. The papers read..........
PREACHER'S ASS OUT IN FRONT
The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the
preacher not to enter the donkey in another race. The newspaper printed this
headline.....
BISHOP SCRATCHES PREACHER'S ASS
This was too much for the Bishop and he ordered the preacher to get rid of the
animal. The preacher decided to give the donkey to a nun in a nearby convent.
The headline the next day read...........
NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN
The Bishop fainted. He informed the Nun that she would have to dispose the
donkey and she found farmer who was willing to buy it for $10. 00. The paper
read..........
NUN PEDDLES ASS FOR TEN BUCKS
They buried the Bishop the next day.
