Joke: Irish Priest And Texas Police

An Irish priest was transferred to Texas.

Father O’Malley rose from his bed one morning.

It was a fine spring day in his new west 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.

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 jackass lying dead in me front lawn and would ye be so kind as to send a couple of o’yer lads to take care of the matter?”

Sergeant Jones, considering himself to be quite a wit and recognizing the foreign accent, though he would have a little fun with the good father, replied,

“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 first, which is the reason for me call.”
