[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 951271, member: 6897"] CATHOLIC HORSES One day at the track in Ireland, playing the ponies and all but losing his shirt, Murphy noticed a priest step out onto the track and bless the forehead of one of the horses lining up for the 4th race. Lo and behold, that horse - a long shot bet - won the race.. Before the next race, Murphy watched with interest as the old priest stepped onto the track and again made a blessing on the forehead of one of the horses. Murphy ran to the betting window and placed a small bet on the horse. Again, even though it was another long shot, the horse the priest had blessed won the race. Murphy collected his winnings, and anxiously waited to see which horse the priest would bless for the 6th race. The priest again blessed a horse. Murphy bet big time on it, and it won. Murphy was elated.. As the races continued, the priest kept blessing long shot horses, and each one ended up coming in first. By and by, Murphy was pulling in some serious coin. By the last race, he knew his wildest dream could come true. He went to an ATM, withdrew all his savings, and awaited the priest's blessing that would tell him on which horse to bet. True to his pattern, the priest again stepped onto the track for the last race and blessed the forehead of an old nag that was the longest shot of the day. Murphy also observed the priest blessing the eyes, ears, and hooves of the old nag. Murphy knew he had a winner and bet every last cent he owned on the old nag. Murphy then watched in horror as the old nag come in dead last. Murphy, in a state of shock, made his way down to the track and confronted the priest... "Father! What happened??? Every horse you blessed today took first place, but in the last race, the horse you blessed lost by aKentucky mile. Thanks to you I've lost every cent of my savings -- all of it!" Bemused, the priest nodded and said, "Son, that's the problem with you Protestants; you can't tell the difference between a simple blessing and the last rites..." [/QUOTE]
