    This is not original, but I don't know who wrote it.

    Squirrels Find Religion

    As a band of squirrels had become quite a problem, the Presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to do about their squirrel infestation. After much prayer and consideration, they concluded that the squirrels were predestined to be there, and they shouldn't interfere with God's divine will.

    At the Baptist church, the squirrels had taken an interest in the baptistery. The deacons met and decided to put a water-slide on the baptistery and let the squirrels drown themselves. The squirrels liked the slide and unfortunately, knew instinctively how to swim, so twice as many squirrels showed up the following week.

    The Lutheran church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God's creatures. So, they humanely trapped their squirrels and set them free near the Baptist church. Two weeks later the squirrels were back when the Baptists took down the water-slide.

    The Episcopalians tried a much more unique path by setting out pans of whiskey around their church in an effort to kill the squirrels with alcohol. They sadly learned how much damage a band of drunk squirrels can do.

    But the Catholic church came up with a very creative strategy! They baptized all the squirrels and made them members of the church. Now they only see them at Christmas and Easter.

    Not much was heard from the Jewish synagogue. They caught the first squirrel and circumcised him. They haven't seen a squirrel since.

    So this priest calls his rabbi friend to come cover the confessional while the priest takes lunch.

    “From what do I know of confession?” the rabbi asks.
    “Don’t worry,” replies the priest. “Just watch what I do. You’re a smart guy. It’s not that complicated.”

    The rabbi sits next to the priest in the booth, and a woman comes in and sits down.

    “Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.”
    “What have you done, my child?”
    “I have committed the sin of adultery,” she sobs.
    “How many times?” inquires the priest.
    “Three” she meekly replies.
    He says “Put $5 in the collection plate and say ten Hail Marys for repentance.”
    “Thank you, Father,” the woman whispers, relieved.

    The next woman comes in and sits down.

    “Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.”
    “What have you done, my child?”
    “I have committed the sin of adultery,” she admits.
    “How many times?” he says.
    “Three” she confesses.
    He replies “Put $5 in the collection plate and say ten Hail Marys for repentance.”
    “Thank you, Father.”

    So the rabbi says “This looks easy. Go! GO! Eat!! I’ll be fine.”
    The priest exits, leaving the rabbi in the booth alone.

    The next woman comes in and sits down.

    “Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.”
    “What have you done, my child?” the rabbi asks.
    “I have committed the sin of adultery,” she says.
    “How many times?” he inquires.
    “Why, only once!” she says, offended.
    The rabbi says “Well, go do it two more times! We’re running a special…three for $5!!!”
