Ok, this is not food related, but funny, and we have been talking about
horses and other unusual meats...

One of those stories, please remember it's not what you say, but how you
say it!:

A priest wanted to raise money for his church and, being told that there
was
a fortune in horse racing, decided to purchase a horse and enter it in
the
races.  However, the going price for horses at the local auction was so
steep that he ended up buying a donkey instead.  He figured that since
he
had the donkey he might as well go ahead and race it.  To his surprise,
the
donkey came in third in its first race.  The next day the racing sheets
carried this headline:

                            "PRIEST'S ASS SHOWS"

The priest was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in another
race, and this time it won.  The papers said:

                            "PRIEST'S ASS OUT IN FRONT"

The bishop became upset with this kind of publicity, and he ordered the
priest not to enter the donkey in another race.  The newspapers then
printed
this headline:

                            "BISHOP SCRATCHES PRIEST'S ASS"

This was just too much for the bishop, and he ordered the priest to get
rid
of the animal.  The priest, who had become fond of the donkey, decided
to
give it to a nun in a nearby convent.  The headlines the next day read:

                            "NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN"

The bishop fainted.  After recovering he informed the nun that she would

have to dispose of the donkey, and she finally found a farmer who was
willing to buy it for $10.00.  The papers carried this final headline:

                            "NUN PEDDELS ASS FOR TEN BUCKS"

They buried the bishop the next day.

It is good to rub and polish our mind against those of others.
