An oldie but goodie from the files of the discerningly astute Revenoor...

There were four churches and a synagogue in a small town: a Presbyterian church,
a Baptist church, a Methodist church, a Catholic church and a Jewish synagogue.
Each house of worship had a problem with squirrels.

The Presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to do about their squirrels.
After much prayer and consideration they determined 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 baptistry. The deacons
met and decided to put a water slide on the baptistry and let the squirrels slide in and
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 Methodist 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.

But the Catholic Church came up with a very creative strategy. They baptized all pf the
squirrels and consecrated them as members of the church. Now they only see them on
Christmas and Easter.

Not much was heard from the Jewish synagogue, they took one squirrel and circumcised
him. They haven't seen a squirrel since.
