Father O’Malley, an Irishman, was transferred to a parish in Texas. He rose from his
bed the next morning, fine spring day. He walked to the window of his bedroom to get
the full view of the beautiful day outside. He saw there was a jackass lying dead in the
middle of his front lawn.

He promptly called the local police station. The conversation went like this:

"Good morning. This is Sergeant Jones. How might I help you?"

"And the best of the day to yourself. This is Father O'Malley
at St. Ann 's Catholic Church. There's a jackass lying dead in me
front lawn and would ye be so kind as to send a couple o' yer lads to take care
of the matter?"

Sergeant Jones, considering himself to be quite a wit and
recognizing the accent, thought he would have a little fun with the good
father. "Well now, Father, it was always my impression that you
people took care of the last rites!"

There was dead silence on the line for a moment or two. Then
Father O'Malley replied, "Aye, 'tis certainly true, but we are also obliged to
notify the next of kin first, which is the reason for me call!"
