The Pastor's Ass

The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won.

The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again, 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 another race.

The next day, the local paper headline read: BISHOP SCRATCHES 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, hearing of the news, posted the following headline the next day: NUN HAS 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 paper 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 plains where it could run wild.

The next day the headlines read: NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE.

The bishop was buried the next day.

The moral of the story is: Being concerned about public opinion can bring you much grief and misery & even shorten your life. So be yourself and enjoy life. Stop worrying about everyone else's ass and you'll be a lot happier and live longer!

Why no Palestinian state exists

March 23, 2010 – New York – AJC Executive Director David Harris in his national radio commentary on the CBS radio network, reminds listeners why no Palestinian state exists. “The key to peace? Palestinian leaders who say yes, not no. When that happens, a new day will dawn,” says Harris.

On the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, there’s a lot of hype and spin.

But facts are facts.

In 1947, the UN recommended two countries.

The Jews accepted. The Arabs didn’t. If they had, there would’ve been a Palestinian state.

In 1948, Israel was established. It called for peace. Instead, it got war.

After the war, the Arabs, not Israel, were in control of the West Bank and Gaza.

They could’ve created a Palestinian state there any day of the week. They didn’t.

Instead, they planned more war against Israel. The goal? To destroy it.

Now fast forward to 2000.

The US and Israel offered the Palestinians a viable state. The dramatic proposal was rejected.

Fast forward to 2009. Another far-reaching proposal for a Palestinian state. Again, turned down.

The key to peace? Palestinian leaders who say yes, not no. When that happens, a new day will dawn.
