Father O'Malley rose from his bed one morning. It was a fine spring day in his new Brisbane 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 donkey 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 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 donkey lying dead in me front lawn.
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.''
