If there isn't a man willing to submit then yes, God could get an ass to preach on Sunday.

The question is not Gods ability to work outside the norm..the question is do isolated events become the pattern for the church .If so we may need to start to send some asses to seminary

Soemtimes the ass might see the Lord where the man can'the Him and beats the ass for acting "differently" than normal. "At first glance it might seem that the story of Balaam, the soothsayer, recorded in Numbers 22:25 has no relevance for today's Christians. However, the writers of the New Testament refer to Balaam in three separate passages—always with a note of warning."

You are looking at the story from the perspective of the ass speaking. Have you considered Balaam's disobedience? It would be better to send an ass than disobedient men. Balaam was a man whose mouth said "Yes" to God while his heart said "No".
