-----------------------------------

Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside with only a pet dog
<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
for company.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> One day the dog died,<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> and Muldoon went to the parish priest
<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
and asked,<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> <b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>'Father,<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> my dog is dead.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> Could ya'<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> be saying'<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> a mass for the
<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
poor creature?<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>'<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
Father Patrick replied,<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> <b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>'I'm afraid not;<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> we cannot have
<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
services for an animal in the church.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> But there are some Baptists down
<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
the lane,<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> and there's no tellin'<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> what they believe.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> Maybe they'll do
<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
something for the creature.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>'<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
Muldoon said,<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> <b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>'I'll go right away Father.<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> Do ya'<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> think <b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>$5,000 is
<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
enough to donate to them for the service?<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
Father Patrick exclaimed,<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> <b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>'Sweet Mary,<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
Mother of Jesus!<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b> Why didn't ya tell me the dog was Catholic?<b style="color:#FFA34F"></b>
