Church squirrels

For those who prefer the deep theological discussions......

The Presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to do about their squirrel infestation. After much prayer and consideration, they concluded that the squirrels were predestined to be there, and they shouldn't interfere with God's 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 Lutheran church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God's 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 made them members of the church. Now they only see them at Christmas and Easter.
Not much was heard from the Jewish synagogue. They took the first squirrel and circumcised him. They haven't seen a squirrel since....

So, what do you do with them after trapping them? You must have a really busy household with 56 squirrels!

Always loved this song.
My grandmother lived next door to Bertha Betterthanyou. She didn't like the fact that I noticed she liked the boy that serviced her pool.

It really boils down to the fact that it is all about Recognition.
“Jews don’t recognize Jesus.
Protestants don’t recognize the Pope.
Baptists don’t recognize one another at the liquor store.”

When they are on the roof I shoot them! the hard part is finding the bullet holes so I can fill them with roofing cement.
