A priest in a small Irish village was very fond of his ten chickens and the one cock rooster he kept in a small barn yard behind the parish stable.

One Saturday night, the cock rooster was missing, and at that time the priest suspected cock fights had occurred in the village, he decided to say something about it in church the next morning.

At Mass, he asked the congregation, “Has anyone 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, either. Has anyone seen a cock around here that doesn’t belong to them?”

Half the women stood up.

“No, no,” he said. “Perhaps I should rephrase the question: Has anybody here seen my cock?”

All the choir boys stood up.
