Several people, including Dragnet, a gentleman from southeast, sent this one...

Each Sunday, a little old lady placed $1,000 in the collection plate at church.

This went on for weeks until the pastor, overcome by curiosity, finally 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 what I don't need I give to the church."

The pastor replied, "That's wonderful. How much does he send you?"

The little old lady responded, "Oh, $10,000 or so, a week."

The pastor was amazed! "Your son must be very successful, what does he do for a living?

"He is a veterinarian." she answered.

That is a very honorable profession," said the pastor. "Where does he practice?"

The little old lady responded proudly: "Well, he has two cat houses in Las Vegas and one in Reno."
