The priest in a small Irish village loved the cock and 10 hens
he kept in the hen-house behind the church.
But one Saturday night the cock went missing! The priest knew that cock fights happened in the village so he started to question his parishioners in church the next morning.
During Mass, he asked the congregation, "Has anybody
got a cock?"
All the men stood up.
"No, no," he said, "that wasn't what I meant. Has anybody
seen a cock?"
All the women stood up.
"No, no," he said, "that wasn't what I meant. Has anybody
seen a cock that doesn't belong to them?"
Half the women stood up.
"No, no," he said, "that wasn't what I meant. Has anybody
seen MY cock?"
All the nuns, three altar boys, two priests
and a goat stood up.
