Corny Joke No 2

George went to the racetrack bet on the ponies and nearly lost his shirt.

He noticed a priest who stepped onto the track and blessed the forehead of one of the horses lining up for the fourth race. Lo and behold the horse a very long shot won the race. George was interested to see what the priest did for the next race. As he watched, the priest blessed the forehead of one of the horses, and George made a beeline for the window to place a small bet on the horse.

Again the Priest had blessed a long shot and the horse won the race. George collected his winnings and anxiously waited to see which horse the priest bestowed his blessing on for the sixth race. The Priest showed up blessed a horse and George won.

As the day went on, the priest continues blessing one of the horses,and it always cames in first. George began to pull in some serious money, and by the last race he knew his wildest dreams were going to come true.

He made a quick stop at the ATM and withdrew every penny he owned. George waited for the Priests blessing that would tell which horse to bet on.

True to the Pattern, the priest stepped out onto the track before the last race and blessed the forehead, eyes,ears and hooves of one of the horses.

George placed his bet every cent he owned and watched the horse come in dead last? George was dumbfounded, He made his way to the track and when he found the priest,he demanded,"What happened,Father All day you blessed the horses and they won. The last race you bless a horse and he loses. Now Ihave lost my life saving, thanks to you."

The Priest nodded wisely and said, "That's the problem with you
Prodestants, you can't tell the difference between a simple blessing and the last rites??? Mauri
