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, and again he went to the
   stables and performed a similar procedure. Charlie played a hunch and
   put a couple of dollars on the blessed horse. Sure enough, the blessed
   horse came in by two lengths, and Charlie won close to fifty bucks!

The priest continued the same procedure through the next few races,
   and Charlie won each time. He was now ahead $1,000, so between races
   Charlie left the track and went to the bank and withdrew his life's
   savings, $20,000.

The biggest race of the day was the last one. Charlie followed the priest
   and watched carefully which horse he blessed. He then went to the betting
   window and put his whole $21,000 bundle of cash on that horse to win.

Then Charlie went out to watch the horses race. Down the stretch they came,
   and as they crossed the finish line, the horse Charlie's fortune was
   bet on was dead last!

Charlie was crushed. He located the priest and told him that he had been
   watching him bless the horses all day, and they all became winners
   except the last horse on which he had bet his life savings. Charlie
   then asked, "What happened to the last horse that you blessed? Why
   didn't it win like the others?"

"That's the trouble with you Protestants," sighed the priest. "You can
   never tell the difference between a blessing and the last rites."
