"Dead Mule In The Churchyard"<br /><br />A Pastor went to his church office on Monday morning<br />and discovered a dead mule in the church yard. He<br />telephoned the police. Since there did not appear to<br />be any foul play, the police referred the Pastor to<br />the Health Department. They explained, "Since there<br />was no health threat you'll need to call the Sanitation<br />Department."<br /><br />When the pastor called the Sanitation Department,<br />the Manager of the Sanitation Department said, "I can't<br />pick-up the dead mule without authorization from the<br />mayor." The Pastor was not too eager to call the mayor,<br />who possessed a very bad temper and was always<br />extremely unpleasant and hard to deal with, but,<br />eventually, the Pastor called the mayor anyway.<br /><br />The mayor did not disappoint the Pastor. The mayor<br />immediately began to rant and rave. After his continued<br />rant at the pastor, the mayor finally said, "Why did you<br />call me any way? Isn't your job to bury the dead?"<br /><br />The pastor paused for a brief prayer, and asked the<br />Lord to direct his response. The Lord led the pastor<br />to the words he was seeking, "Yes, Mayor, it IS my<br />job to bury the dead, BUT I always like to notify the<br />next of kin first!"<br />__________________________________________________<br />"About That Donkey"<br />For the forum administrators<br /><br />An old man, a boy and a donkey were going to town.<br />The boy rode on the donkey and the old man walked.<br />As they went along they passed some people who<br />remarked it was a shame the old man was walking<br />and the boy was riding. The man and boy thought<br />maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions.<br /><br />Later, they passed some people that remarked,<br />'What a shame, he makes that little boy walk.'<br />They then decided they both would walk.<br /><br />Soon they passed some more people who thought<br />they were stupid to walk when they had a decent<br />donkey to ride. So, they both rode the donkey.<br /><br />Now they passed some people that shamed them<br />by saying how awful to put such a load on a poor<br />donkey. The boy and man said they were probably<br />right, so they decided to carry the donkey. As they<br />crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal<br />and it fell into the river and drowned.<br /><br />The moral of the story? If you try to please everyone,<br />you might as well kiss your azz good-bye.
