Irish Humour

A retired Irish priest was transferred to Texas.

 

Father O'Malley rose from his bed one morning.

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 best of the day te yerself.

This is Father O'Malley at St. Ann's Catholic Church.

There's a jackass lying dead in me front lawn.

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 the 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.''
