Forgive me for saying this, but there are times that I can really relate to "Fr. O'Malley".
An Irish priest by the name of Father O'Malley, was transferred to a small rural community in southern Ontario .
As he arose from his bed one morning. It was indeed a fine spring day in his new Canadian 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. Dis is Father O'Malley at St. Ann 's Catholic Church. Dere's a jackass lyin 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........................
Then Father O'Malley curtly replied:
"Aye, 'tis certainly true; but we are also obliged to notify the next of kin."
