Father O'Malley got up one fine spring day and walked to the window of
his bedroom to get a deep breath of the beautiful day outside and 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:
"Top o' the day to ye. This is Sgt. Flaherty. How might I help ye?"
"And the rest of the day te yerself. This is Father O'Malley at St.
Brigid's. There's a jackass lying dead in me front lawn. Would ye be
after sending a couple o' yer lads to take care of the matter?"
Sgt. Flaherty considered himself to be quite a wit and the rest of the
conversation proceeded:
"Well now father, it was always my impression that you people took care of
last rites!"
There was dead silence on the line for a moment and then Father O'Malley
replied:
"Aye, that's certainly true, but we are also obliged to notify the next of
kin!"
