There were four churches and a synagogue in a small town: a Presbyterian church, a Baptist church, a Methodist church, a Catholic church and a Jewish synagogue. Each church and the synagogue had a problem with squirrels.
The Presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to do about their squirrels. After much prayer and consideration they determined the squirrels were predestined to be there and they shouldnt interfere with Gods divine will.
At the Baptist church, the squirrels had taken an interest in the baptistery. The deacons met and decided to put a water slide on the baptistery and let the squirrels drown themselves. The squirrels liked the slide and, unfortunately, knew instinctively how to swim, so twice as many squirrels showed up the following week.
The Methodist church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of Gods creatures. So, they humanely trapped their squirrels and set them free near the Baptist Church. Two weeks later the squirrels were back when the Baptists took down the water slide.
But the Catholic Church came up with a very creative strategy. They baptized all the squirrels and consecrated them as members of the church. Now they only see them on Christmas and Easter.
Not much was heard from the Jewish synagogue. They took one squirrel and circumcised him; they havent seen a squirrel since.
I wondered why those squirrels came back.
Reminds me...a minister, priest, and a Rabbi liked to meet once a week for a friendly game of cards, rotating venue among the various houses of worship. One day the monsignor thought he heard riffling of cards from the priests office. Listening at the closed door, he confirmed his suspicion. Knocked on the door, and in a moment the priest opened the door disclosing his friends seated at a table. "Father, I am certain I heard the shuffle of cards...were you playing a game of chance in a house of worship?"
Priest: "Do you think I would play cards in a house of God?"
Turning to the minister, "Reverend, were you playing cards"
To which the minister replied, "Certainly father you don't think I would play cards in a church?"
Finally addressing the Rabbi the priest asks, "Rabbi, I am certain I heard the rifling of cards out side the door, were you playing cards in our house of worship?"
To which the Rabbi, exclaimed......."with whom?"
Very Funny....Thanks. Now have a great day...
