There were five houses of religion in a small town: the
Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist, Roman Catholic 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 Roman 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 Day, Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday
and at 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!
