Subject: Charlie was a regular



Charlie was a regular visitor at the racetrack. One
afternoon he noticed an unusual sight. Right before the
first race, a Catholic Priest visited one of the
horses in the stable area and gave it a blessing.
Charlie watched the horse race very carefully, and,
sure enough, the blessed horse came in first.

Charlie followed the Priest before the next race.
Again, the Priest went to the stables and blessed
another horse. Charlie quickly put two dollars on that
horse and won close to fifty bucks! The Priest kept
blessing horses and Charlie kept betting on them and
they won!

The last race of the day was the biggest and Charlie
saw the Priest with that horse, also! He quickly went
to his bank and withdrew his life's savings of $20,000,
went back to the racetrack and put it all on that
horse!

He watched the race in certain anticipation of leaving
a millionaire. The horse was last to cross the line and
Charlie was dead broke! He couldn't believe what
happened so he went looking for the Priest.

He found the man and asked, "What happened to that last
horse you blessed? Because your blessing didn't work,
I've lost all of my money!" The Priest said "That's the
trouble with you, you can't tell the difference between
a blessing and the Last Rites!"
