This is a true story, but I'm not sure if of the exact details. Anyone know the exact details, or if you want to correct me just put a comment (:
There was once a complete idiot. He just couldn't do anything right. School, he failed, work, he failed, social, he failed! But suddenly, he annoucned to the world he knew, he wanted to become a Priest. Now he had to go the Bishop for permission to study to become a Priest. The Bishop, knowing how stupid he was, said 'Absolutely NOT!!' But the man didn't give up.
He continued to ask and ask till finally, out of pure irritation, the Bishop just said 'Fine, let that ass do it.'
That 'ass' studied. He passed. He actually passed! The Bishop knew he couldn't do anything to stop the ass now, coz the ass qualified. So he told one of the men under him; 'Send that ass away from me. Keep him in the most remote place where his mistakes won't matter.'
So the ass went off to the most remote place the Order could find, so remote that one train went there once a week, and stayed there. It just happens, that he heard the Bishop call him an ass. SO he sent a letter just before he started to work to the Bishop:
'Your grace,
I hope you are well. Did you see what God did with a jaw bone of an ass? Imagine what he can do with a full ass. Have a good day.'
Then he signed his name.
He started his work there, just walking around, smiling stupidly at everyone, laughing at people's jokes and all that. Soon, he found his masses actually had people coming to it. He found a choir that sang horribly, but he sang along so enthusiastically that the choir kept going just to see him sing ridiculously loudly.
Soon, the word spread around about him, so much so that the mayor of that remote place needed to rebuild the train station to hold the mass of people coming to see the infamous Priest that everyone talked about, the Priest that sang with gusto, laughed with his heart, and loved with his soul.
In short, the mayor of that remote place needed to rebuild the train station to hold the mass of people coming to see an Ass.
