"Muldoon and his dearly departed dog."

MY THOUGHTS...Short Stories And Poems.

Posted in Unspecified

HELLO Where would the world be without the Irish Jokes... The Irish are wonderful people and know how to laugh at themselves... Just like we Aussie's know how to laugh at our selves. It's a gift really to be able to let people poke fun at you and your religion or lack thereof... It's a trait many other nations could pick up on and stop taking themselves and their religion so seriously. Lighten up folks, God, The Great Spirit... Or what ever title you give him, knows we humans have a lot of learning to do yet And to Bo sure, would be having many a chuckle from on high. Thinking when are these subjects of mine going to learn anything? THEY JUST KEEP ON REPEATING THE SAME MISTAKES OVER & OVER AGAIN! purplefleur.gif picture by Magickal-Crystal

Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside with only a pet dog for company.

One day the dog died, and Muldoon went to the parish priest and asked,

"Father, my dog is dead. Could ya' be saying' a mass for the poor creature?"

Father Patrick replied,

"I'm afraid not;

We cannot have services for an animal in the church.

But there are some Baptists down the lane, and there's no tellin' what they believe.

Maybe they'll do something for the creature."

Muldoon said,

"I'll go right away Father.

Do ya think $5,000 is enough to donate to them for the service?"

Father Patrick exclaimed,

"Sweet Mary, Mother of Jesus!

Why didn't ya tell me the dog was Catholic?"

This little yarn reminds me of my childhood days, when we had religious instruction in the schools...

And when the Catholic priest came around to the school he wouldn't let his little flock of 3 play with all

the rest of us 6 kids of because we were heathens of the anglican/Church of England faith.

Now when I look back and think of his bigoted views I just smile because there is not too much difference at all. But as this little story depicts they can be bought for a price of a good donation.
