Just for Laughs

In a nearby town there is a synagogue and three churches --- Baptist, United and Catholic. All were having a terrible problem with pesky squirrels getting into their sanctuaries and creating a huge mess. There seemed no way of keeping them out. All four held congregational meetings to discuss the problem.

The Baptist congregation decided that they were predestined to have squirrels. Since it was God’s will for them, they decided to do nothing.

The United congregation decided to buy live traps to catch the squirrels. They caught them all but didn’t have the heart to kill them. They drove far out into the countryside and released them. A week later they had all returned.

The Catholic congregation decided to rent the live traps from the United Church. Once they had caught all the squirrels the priest had a brilliant inspiration --- he baptized all the squirrels and entered them into the church rolls. Then they let them go. Now they only show up twice a year!

The rabbi also rented the traps. He conducted a bris on the first male squirrel trapped and released him. None have been seen near the synagogue since.

Sorry you found the post offensive, it was not my intention to affront anyone... just saw the irony in it concurrent to todays headlines...

A little boy opened the big and old family Bible with fascination, and looked at the old pages as he turned them. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible, and he picked it up and looked at it closely. It was an old leaf from a tree that had been pressed in between the pages.

"Momma, look what I found," the boy called out.

"What have you got there, dear?" his mother asked.

With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered: "I think it's Adam's suit!"

I don't have any jokes on my mind,
