[Magdalen] Well, there's a moral here . . .

[Jim Guthrie]

Perhaps a tickle box repair. But I've always been wedded to the notion that 
publicity is generally a good thing -- even negative publicity. I remember a 
company that was the object of a Herb Denenberg consumer "On Your Side" report 
30 years ago in Philadelphia. After scathing TV report, the company's business 
**increased** after it created flyers with Denenberg's picture and the headline 
"As Seen on TV!" WCAU and Denenberg were  not amused but the company suggested 
that if Channel 10 was covered by the first amendment, it was too . . .

The Pastor entered his donkey in a race and
it won !!

The Pastor was so pleased with the donkey
that he entered it in the next race,
and it won that race too.

The local paper read:

PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT.


The Bishop was so upset with this kind of
publicity that he ordered the
Pastor not to enter the donkey in another races.

The next day the local paper headline read:

“BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR'S ASS”.

This was too much for the Bishop, so he
ordered the Pastor to get
rid of the donkey.

The Pastor decided to give it to a Nun in a
nearby convent.

The local paper, hearing of the news, posted
the following headline the next day:

NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN!!

The Bishop fainted ….

He informed the Nun that she would have to
get rid of the donkey as soon as possible.

So she sold it to a local farmer for $10.
The next day the paper read:

“NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10”.

This was too much for the Bishop so he
ordered the Nun to buy back the
donkey, and take it to the plains
where it could run wild.

The next day the headlines read:

NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE.

The Bishop was buried the next day.

The moral of the story is .. . .. being
concerned about public opinion can
bring you much grief and misery,
even shorten your life.

So be yourself and enjoy life.
Stop worrying about everyone else's ass and
you'll be a lot happier
and live longer!




















Cheers,
Jim
