Roosters
The Catholic priest in a small Irish village was very fond of the chickens
he kept in the hen house out the back of the parish rectory. He had a
cock rooster and about ten hens. One Saturday night the cock rooster was
missing and the priest suspected that was the time the cock fights occurred
in the village.
So he decided to say something about it at church the next morning. At
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 altar boys stood up.
