A rural pastor was going deer hunting at farmer jones, who was a church member. He had a new associate and decided to introduce him to hunting.
They arrive at farmer Jones', the pastor goes to the door to let him know that they will be hunting, and the farmer said to him, "Pastor, ol' Dobbin, my mule, has been sick for some time. He really needs put down but I just don't have the heart to do it. Since you got your rifle with you, would you mind puttin him out of his misery?"
The pastor assured the farmer that he'd take care of it. Then he thought of how this would be agreat opportunity to put one over on his young associate. So, on the way back to the truck he began to act angry, the young man asked him what had happened. "THe old farmer told me I can't hunt! He said he didn't want me on his property! I've had enough! I can't take any more abuse from these people! I'll show him, I'm gonna shoot his mule over there!"
Young man pleaded with him; "You'll lose your position and likely go to jail! Don't do it!"
But the pastor, acting mad, stalked over to the pen, raised his rifle and shot ol' Dobbin right between the eyes! He started back toward the truck, hardly able to contain his laughter, when he heard two more shots! looking up, he saw his young associate running toward him yelling, "You're right! We shouldn't be treated thas way! I just got 2 of his cows, let's get out of here!"
