The perspicacious Dragnet sent this oldie...
The Veterinarian
One Sunday, in counting the money in the weekly offering, the pastor of a small
church found a pink envelope containing $1,000.
It happened again the next week!
The following Sunday, he watched as the offering was collected and saw an elderly
woman put the distinctive pink envelope on the plate. This went on for weeks until
the pastor, overcome by curiosity, approached her.
"Ma'am, I couldn't help but notice that you put $1,000 a week in the collection plate,"
he stated.
"Why, yes," she replied," every week my son sends me money, and I give some of
it to the church."
The pastor replied, "That's wonderful. But $1,000 is a lot; are you sure you can afford
this? How much does he send you?"
The elderly woman answered, "$10,000 a week."
The pastor was amazed. "Your son is very successful; what does he do for a living?"
"He is a veterinarian," she answered.
"That's an honorable profession, but I had no idea they made that much money," the
pastor said. "Where does he practice?'
The woman answered proudly, "In Nevada... He has two cat houses, one in Las Vegas
and one in Reno."
