RE:An Ass is an Ass is an Ass . . .
Arse precedes ass as a slang reference to the buttocks. Ass is an American English bastardization of arse (which goes back a long way in English, comes from the German).
An ass is a donkey. A mule is a cross between a male donkey and a female horse. They can't reproduce.
I love the "holey than thou" pun but had to read it a few times to get it.

English is a very strange language and it keeps us separate from the Brits. There is English and there is American English, so many words with different meanings. That doesn't even count how the language is being changed by modern folks.
