Darwin was right
Father O'Malley rose from his bed. It was a fine spring day in his new
Texas mission parish. He walked to the window of his bedroom to
get a deep breath of the beautiful day outside.
He then noticed there was a jackass 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?"
"And the rest of the day to yourself. This is Father O'Malley
At St. Brigid's . There's a jackass lying dead in me front lawn.
Would ye be so kind as to send a couple o' yer lads to take care
of the matter?"
Sergeant Jones, considering himself to be quite a wit, replied
with a smirk, "Well now father, it was always my impression that you
people took care of last rites!"
There was dead silence on the line for a long moment.
Father O'Malley then replied: "Aye, tis certainly true, but we are
also obliged to notify the next of kin."
