Catholic horses
One day at the trackplaying the ponies and all but losing his shirt Mitch noticed a priest who stepped out on the track and blessed the forehead ofone of the horses lining up for the next race '
Lo and behold.that horse a very long shot ,won the race .. Before the next race ,the preist stepped out and made a blessing on the forehead of another horse .Mitch made a bee linr to the betting window ,and placed a small bet on thst horse ,another long shot .Again the blessed horse won the race .Mitch continued to watch the priest bless a horse in each following race and he kept placing more and more money on each blessed horse ,And they just kept winning .. Mitch had a very sizeable amount of winning , so on such a hot streak ,he went over to the ATM and withdrew all his saving .
True to his pattern ,the priest stepped onto the track for the last race and blessed the forehead of an old nag that was the longest shot of the day .
Mitch observed the priest blessing the eyes ,the ears and the hooves of the old nag .Mitcth knew he was on a winner ,and bet every last cent onthe old Nag
He then watched Dumbfounded as the old nag came in dead last .Mitch in a stste of shockmade his way down to the track area where the priest was .
Confronting the old priest he demanded "Father ! What happened ?. All day long you have been blessing horses and they all won .Then the last race ,The horse you blessed lost by a country mile .Now ,thanks to you ,I have lost every cent of my savinds ,ALL of it "
The priest nodded wisely and with sympathy . Son , he said. Thats the problem with you protestants , You can't tell the differencebetween a simple blessing and last rites .
