Father O'Malley rose from his bed. It was a fine spring day in his new

Washington, DC parish. He walked to the window of his bedroom to get

a deep breath of the beautiful day outside. It was then he noticed a

jackass lying dead in the middle of his front lawn. He promptly called the

US Senate for assistance. The conversation went like this:

"Good morning. This is Senator Kerry. How might I help you?"

"And the best of the day te yerself. This is Father O'Malley at St.Brigid's.

There's a jackass lying dead in me front lawn. Would ye be so kind as

to send a couple o' yer lads to take care of the matter?"

Senator Kerry, 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 last rites!"

There was dead silence on the line for a long moment. Father O'Malley

then replied: "Aye, that's certainly true, but we are also obliged to notify

the next of kin."

Boon Mee, not bad....

Btw, google search is set back to the orginal.

Go to google, type "miserable failure" without the quotation marks and

click 'I'am feeling lucky'.
