There were Five country churches in a small TEXAS 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,
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.
