Christ is in our midst!
Larry decided to spend a day at the track. Checking out the paddock, he noticed a priest laying his hands on a horse’s head and saying a prayer. He immediately went and placed a bet on the horse, which came in first.
Going back to the paddock before the next race, he again saw the same priest lay his hands on another horse and again say a prayer. Larry ran to the window and again bet on that horse. The horse also came in first.
Returning to the paddock, Larry saw the priest approach another horse. But this time he not only placed his hands on the horse’s head, but on his withers and fore-legs. Larry again ran to the betting window and bet all he had on the horse. The horse came in last.
Larry went into the paddock and, finding the priest, asked him how it was this horse placed last when the other two had finished first. The priest said “You protestants never could tell the difference between a ‘blessing’ and ‘Last Rites’”!
Told at a banquet last night by a Catholic buddy, who this Lutheran really appreciates for his jokes...
