The priest of a small village was very fond of his flock of ten hens and a cockerel.
He kept them in a hen house behind the parish,but one saturday night,the cockerel
was missing.The priest,suspecting foul play decided to say something about it at
church the next morning.
At mass,he asked the congregation,has anyone got a cock? To which all the men
stood up.
"No,no," he said somewhat flustered,"That's not what I meant.Has anybody SEEN
a cock?" All the women stood up.
"No,no," he said.'That's not what I meant either.Has anybody seen a cock that does
not belong to them." Half the women stood up.
"No,no," He said now more thoroughly embarrassed,"Perhaps I should rephrase the
question:Has anybody seen MY cock?" All the choir boys stood up.
