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 Armstrong. How might I help you?'' ''And the best of the day to yerself.. This is Father O'Malley at St.Ann’s Catholic Church. There's a jackass lying dead on me front lawn"
Sergeant Armstrong, 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 moment....................................
Then Father O'Malley replied: "Aye, 'tis certainly true; but we are also obliged to notify the next of kin.''
