The priest and the poultry... ..

[jucyberry]

A priest in a small Irish village loved his chickens that he kept in the coop behind the church.
One Sunday morning, before mass, he went to feed the birds and discovered that the cock was missing. He knew about the cock fights in the village, so he decided to question his parishioners in the church.
During mass, he asked his congregation, \"Has anybody got a cock?\"
All the men stood up.
\"No, no, that wasn't what I meant. Has anybody seen a cock?\"
All the women stood up.
\"No, no, that wasn't what I meant either. Has anybody seen a cock that Doesn't belong to them?\"
Half the women stood up!
\"No, no, no. That wasn't what I meant. What I really mean is, has anybody seen MY cock?\"



 
Sixteen altar boys, two priests and a goat stood up.
