An Irish-born Catholic Priest named Father O’Malley was transferred to Texas recently.
About a week after the move, he rose from his bed early to take in the wonderful view. 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. So he promptly called the local police station to report it.
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 and would ye be so kind as to send a couple o’yer lads to take care of the matter?’’
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.’’
