There were Five country churches in a small town: The
Presbyterian Church, the Baptist Church , the Methodist Church , the
Catholic Church and the Jewish Synagogue. Each church 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 and Easter.
Not much was heard about the JEWISH SYNAGOGUE. They took one squirrel
and had a short service with him called circumcision and they haven't
seen a squirrel on the property since.
