Jesus Jeeps on the button.

Jesus chose his mode of transport and animal friends carefully.The most stoic,intelligent and lovable of animals,the donkey were present both as transport and in the stable for his birth.Donkeys bear the sign of the cross on their backs as visual evidence of his favour,it is said.
Because he chose then for transport ,they are called Jesus jeeps in this part of the country.This is not to disrespect them.Were donkeys not kept to work they wouldn't exist for very long.Working donkeys are a rarity in Western countries.We would rather pollute the  environment with the toxic waste of oil products and use weapons of mass destruction to bomb non Caucasian peoples back to the stone age to protect oil wells than use resources that can survive on what nature provides i.e vegetation for donkeys and horses etc.
I have evidence that God,favourite animal is still on the button.
A well loved and eccentric gentleman of my acquaintance has had a hard life and been at the butt end of tragedy and bureaucratic attack most of his long life because of his unconventional way of making a living.This elderly man has long concluded that donkeys are preferable companions to many humans,and given the intolerance that many displayed towards him ,it is hard to blame him.He lives alone,except for two donkeys who share his house with him.They adore him and he adores them.They are both jacks.
He often goes "on Ceili"( a word used around here to describe prolonged visits to the houses of friends and neighbours)to his neighbours.Come eight o clock in the evening,he will keep a check on the time and will depart home to make base before nine o clock.
When challenged on this he explained that the "lads" usually love watching the television and that he leaves it on when he is not at home.He says that whatever overcomes them when the news comes on they dislike it that much that if he is not there to switch it off "they will kick the T.V. to pieces."
Yes they are on the button.
