Where is the Rooster?

The priest in a small Irish village loved the rooster and ten hens he
kept in the hen house behind the church.

One Sunday morning, before mass, he went to feed the birds and
discovered that the cock was missing. He knew about cockfights in
the village, so he questioned 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 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?"

Sixteen altar boys, two priests and a goat stood up.
