To paraphrase Scripture, Numbers 22. If you ass won't move there may be an angel in the way

Remember when we looked up all the bad words in the dictionary? There’s a lot more now I’m sure.

SOMEONE didn't like "Happy feast day of the ass!" as the thread title?

Festum Asinorum? Sounds like something Wile E. Coyote would send off for. The "ACME Festum Asinorum Celebration Kit"

THE DONKEY

~G.K. Chesterton

When fishes flew and forests walked
And figs grew upon thorn,
Some moment when the moon was blood
Then surely I was born;

With monstrous head and sickening cry
And ears like errant wings,
The devil's walking parody
On all four-footed things.

The tattered outlaw of the earth,
Of ancient crooked will;
Starve, scourge, deride me: I am dumb,
I keep my secret still.

Fools! For I also had my hour;
One far fierce hour and sweet:
There was a shout about my ears,
And palms before my feet.

The feast is associated with the flight into Egypt, honoring the donkey used by the Holy Family. Actually, St. Matthew doesn't say that they even had a donkey.

Perhaps the donkey is deduced from the angel's words to Joseph: "Take the young child and his mother and flea into Egypt..."
