There were five houses of religion in a small town:
>> The Presbyterian Church, the Baptist Church, the Methodist
>> Church , the Catholic Church 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 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 , Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday and
>> 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.
