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 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
baptistry. The deacons met and decided to put a cover on the baptistry 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.:-D
