The priest in a small Irish village had a rooster and ten hens.
He kept them in the henhouse behind the church.
One Sunday morning before Mass, he went to feed the birds and discovered that the cock was missing.
He knew that cockfights took place in the village and suspected that his was stolen for such a cockfight, so he decided to question his parishioners in church.
During Mass, he asked the congregation,
"Has anybody got a cock ?" All the men stood up.
"No, no," he said,"that wasn't the cock I meant."
"Has anybody seen a cock ?" All the women stood up.
"No, no," he said, "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," he said,"that wasn't what I meant."
"Has anybody seen MY cock ?"
Eleven altar boys, two young priests and a goat stood up.
The priest fainted.
