Father Ryan rose from his bed one morning. It was a fine
spring day in his rural parish. He
walked to the window of his bedroom to catch a deep breath of the beautiful day
outside. That's when noticed there was a donkey 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?"
" This is Father Ryan at St. Ann 's Church. There's a
donkey lying dead on the front lawn and I wondered if you'd be so kind as to
send a couple of your lads to take care of the matter?"
Sergeant Jones, considering himself to be quite a wit, thought he would have a little fun with the good Father and so he
replied, "Father, it was always my impression that you good
people took care of the last rites!"
There was dead silence on the line for a few
moments.......
Father Ryan replied: "Aye,tis
certainly true but we are also obliged to notify the next of kin first, which
is the reason for the call"
