Dead Mule
A preacher went to his church office on Monday morning and discovered a dead
mule in
the church yard. He called the police. Since there did not appear to be any
foul play,
the police referred the preacher to the health department. They said since
there was no
health threat that he should call the sanitation department.
The sanitation manager said he could not pick up the mule without
authorization from
the mayor.
Now the preacher knew the mayor and was not too eager to call him. The mayor
had a bad
temper and was generally hard to deal with, but the preacher called him
anyway. The
mayor did not disappoint. He immediately began to rant and rave at the
pastor and
finally said, "Why did you call me anyway? Isn't it your job to bury the
dead?"
The preacher paused for a brief prayer and asked the Lord to direct
response. He was
led to say, "Yes, Mayor, it is my job to bury the dead, but I always like to
notify the
next of kin first!"
