CHURCH SQUIRRELS
There were five houses of religion in a small town:
The Presbyterian Church,
The Baptist Church ,
The Methodist Church ,
The Catholic Church
and
The Jewish Synagogue.
Each church and Synagogue was
overrun with pesky squirrels.
One day, the Presbyterian Church called
a meeting to decide what to do about the squirrels.
After much prayer and consideration they
determined that the squirrels were predestined
to be there and they shouldn't interfere
with God's divine will.
In The BAPTIST CHURCH the squirrels
had taken up habitation in the baptistery. The
deacons met and decided to put a cover on the
baptistery and drown the squirrels in it. The
squirrels escaped somehow and there were
twice as many there the next week.
The Methodist Church got together and
decided that they were not in a position to harm
any of God's creation. So, they humanely trapped
the Squirrels and set them free a few miles outside
of town. Three days later, the squirrels were back.
But --The Catholic Church came up with the
best and most effective solution. They baptized
the squirrels and registered them as members
of the church.
Now they only see them on
Christmas, Ash Wednesday,
Palm Sunday and Easter.
Not much was heard about
the Jewish Synagogue, but they took
one squirrel and had a short service with
him called circumcision and they haven't
seen a squirrel on the property since.
