El Lobo Reservado, a sagacious gentleman from out west, sent this one
about a talking centipede...

A bachelor decided life would be more fun if he had a pet. So he went to
the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet.

After some discussion, he finally made a decision and bought himself a
talking centipede, (100-legged bug), which came in a little white box to
use for its house.

He took the box back home, found a good spot for the box, and decided
he would start off by taking his new pet to church with him.

So he asked the centipede in the box, "Would you like to go to church with
me today? We will have a good time."

But there was no answer from his new pet.

This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then asked again,
"How about going to church with me and receive blessings?"

But again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet. So he waited a
few minutes more, thinking about the situation.

The guy decided to invite the centipede one last time.

This time he put his face up against the centipede's house and shouted, "Hey,
in there! Would you like to go to church with me and learn about God?"

This time, a tiny little voice came out of the box, "I heard you the first time! I'm
putting my f__kin' shoes on!"
