"The priest and his horse" joke

Once their was a priest. This priest bought a horse and decided to train it himself. He trained the horse to go when he said "
thank the lord"
and to stop when he said "
amen."
One day, while riding his horse, the priest decided to gallop. He was galloping along when he noticed a cliff at the end of the trail. Completely forgetting how he had trained the hors, the priest started yelling, "
whoa"
, "
hoah you stupid horse!"
and "
STOP! SLOW DOWN!"
Around five feet before the cliff, the priest decided to say a prayer. At the end of his prayer he said "
Amen"
. The horse stopped three feet from the edge. Then, the priest took out his handkerchief, wiped his forehead, and said "
thank the lord."
