| A priest was arriving at his new parish in a small rural community. One of the members met him at the train with his horse and buggy to drive him to his new church. As they were going along the way, they passed a man in a pasture having intercourse with a goat. The priest was horrified; however, the man sitting next to him seemed completely unfazed and continued driving. Pretty soon they passed another pasture, where the priest witnessed a man having intercourse with a sheep. Again there was no reaction from the driver. A little further down the road, they came upon a man standing out in his pasture masturbating. The priest just couldn't take any more. "Stop right here, right now" the priest told the driver. The priest jumped out and went over to the man who was masturbating. "I don't get it," the priest said. "First we pass a man having sex with a goat, then we pass a man having sex with a sheep, and now we come upon you and you're masturbating. Can you tell me what is going on here?" "Well, Father," the man drawled, "Many of us out here are poor folk, so not everybody can afford an animal." |
