The Priest and the Cock

[Schönauer]

The priest in a small Irish village had a rooster and ten hens
he kept in the hen house behind the church.

One Sunday morning, before mess, he
went to feed the birds and discovered
that the cock was missing.

He knew about cock fights in
the village, so he questioned
his parishioners in church.

During mess, he asked the congregation,

'Has anybody got a cock? '

All the men stood up.

'No, no, ' he said, 'that wasn't what I meant.
Has anybody seen a cock? '

All the women stood up.

'No, no, ' he said, ' that wasn't what I meant.
Has anybody seen a cock that
doesn't belong to them? '

Half the women stood up.

'No, no, ' he said, 'that wasn't what I meant.
Has anybody seen MY cock? '

Sixteen alter boys, two priests
and a goat stood up.

The priest fainted.
