Yesterday's Kentucky Derby..... ... made me think of this.... A pastor wanted to raise money for his church and, on being told there was a fortune in racing, decided to buy one and enter it in the races. However, at the local auction, the going price for a was so high that he ended up buying a donkey instead. He thought that since he had it he might as well go ahead and entered it in the race and, much to his surprise, the donkey came in third. The next day the local paper carried this headline PASTOR'S ASS SHOWS The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again, and this time it won. The local paper read PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT. The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the pastor not to enter the donkey in another race. The next day, the local paper headline read BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR'S ASS. T This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the pastor to get rid of the donkey. The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent. The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline the next day NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN. The Bishop was furious. He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey, so she sold it to a farmer for ten dollars. The next day, the paper read NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10. This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild. Headlines the next day read NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE. Sometimes, having an ass is not all it's cracked up to be!!!..... |

I was privy to this joke years ago, but it still makes me laugh! Joking aside, rarely is there a "fortune to be made" in horse racing. I have been a long-time Thoroughbred breeder and owner; it is an industry where "breaking even" is considered to be a great success. But there is still a wealth of satisfaction in pulling a foal into the world one cold spring morning, then seeing him pound down the homestretch a few years later....hopefully in front!
