Near Vail, Colorado the Eagle River Presbyterian Church has an annual tradition of creating a live nativity scene, but two smart donkeys ran off before they were set to play their roles. The borrowed donkeys had been placed in a pen on Wednesday night, but the animals escaped.
Footprints in the snow led a church member and a sheriff's deputy to an area near railroad tracks where the donkeys were found to be fine.
I wonder if those donkeys planned to hop a train to escape their fate of standing in a cold hut for hours, being stared at by strangers, and pretending to worship the son of an imaginary god.

Maybe they heard about what Balaam did to his donkey, and figured they'd be better off Moslem.
Snowbrush, I had forgotten about Balaam beating his donkey. That donkey was a smart ass, too. She could even talk.

More than likely they were thinking...
"Is that Baby Jesus edible? No? F*ck we're outta here. Where can we get some oats?"
