How Worrying About Public Opinion Can Lead to Unexpected Consequences: A Humorous Tale

patlolla27
The pastor entered his donkey in a race, and it won. The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in another race, and it won again. 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 any more races. The next day, the local paper headline read: "BISHOP SCRATCHES THE PASTOR'S ASS."

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, upon hearing the news, posted the following headline: "NUN HAS THE BEST ASS IN TOWN."

The Bishop fainted.

He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey, so she sold it to a farmer for $10. The next day, the headlines 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 high plains where it could run free. The next day, the headlines read: "NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE."

Alas... the Bishop was buried the next day.

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Being concerned about public opinion can bring you much grief and misery and even shorten your life. So, be yourself and enjoy life. Stop worrying about everyone else's ass, and you

A great blend of humor and moral - could not stop laughing out loud. Really, one should mind one's own business only and not others. LOL. Keep posting - it was different and indeed "funnily inspiring."

Hi Prashanth,

It's a nice contribution, and funny too. Even though we take it just as a story, don't you feel it hurts the feelings of true Christians? Anyways, nice effort from your end.
