Father O'Malley arose from his bed. It was a fine spring morning in his new Texas parish. He walked to the window of his bedroom to get a deep breath of the beautiful day outside. He noticed a jackass lying dead in the middle of his front lawn. Promptly he called the local police station.
The conversation went like this:
"Good morning. This is Sergeant Flaherty. How might I help you?"
"And the tap of the morning te yerself. This is Father O'Malley at st.Brigid's. There's a jackass lying dead on me front lawn. Would ye be so kind as to send a couple o' yer lads to take care of the matter?"
Sergeant Flaherty, 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, that's certainly true, but we are also obliged to notify the next of kin."
