WHERE'S MY ROOSTER
The priest in a small Irish village was very fond of the ten chickens and
one cock rooster he kept in a hen house at the back of the church.
One Saturday night the cock rooster went missing and so the priest, who had
for a long time suspected that cock fighting was taking place in the
village, decided to mention it in church the next morning.
At mass, he addressed the congregation, "Has anyone here got a cock?" All
of the men stood up.
"No, no" he said, "that wasn't what I meant, has anyone SEEN a cock?" All
of the women stood up.
"NO, NO" he said somewhat exasperated "that wasn't what I meant either, has
anyone seen a cock that does NOT belong to them?"
Half of the women stood up.
"Jesus and Mary" he muttered quietly, "No, no no. Let me rephrase the
question, has anyone seen MY cock?"
All the choirboys stood up
