My best donkey-related story is fucking shit
but I will tell it anyway. My younger sister played a donkey in our Primary School Nativity Play and somehow managed to snare herself a song. Not just any song; a solo performance. Playing a fucking donkey. It was called "I carried Mary" and has since become a standard for aspirational donkeys everywhere, although a more downbeat version has also emerged in which the word "Mary" is replaced in the chorus by "various easily communicable blood diseases".

See if you can spot the point in my story above at which Mr Bullshit reared his ugly head.

You're blatantly an only child.

Did she fuck a donkey?

Not to my knowledge
She's surprisingly sensible, having inherited both the looks and the brains whilst leaving nowt of either for me, so I highly doubt it.

So basically what you are saying is
you fucked a donkey?

Nice work there
You're not getting a score. It was a female donkey.

You keep telling yourself that
Cricket going tit up for you - another wicket gone. £1 down I think

And another
I should have remembered that the Saffers are chokers. I did make the point this morning that the Kiwis bat all the way down and the Proteas have a long tail, but I'm still down a quid, aren't I

"It was cold, bitterly cold as we approached bethlehem
I was so tired I could hardly keep awake on the little donkey"

Why the hell can I still remember my opening lines from when I was Mary in a nativity when I was 15?

no, it was with church
We did another one the year after (I think) which was basically a taleau. We walked in one at a time to assemble at the stable. Unfortunately a toy sheep looked at me funny and I sniggered. This set off everyone else in the tableau which left everyone in the church giggling like loons. Not the moving scene they were hoping for
