Baptize The Squirrels!
Three buildings in town were overrun by squirrels-the town hall, the hardware store, and the church. The town hall brought in some cats. But after they tore up all the files, the mayor got rid of the predators, and soon the squirrels were back.
The hardware store humanely trapped the squirrels and set them free outside town. But three days later, the squirrels climbed back in.
Only the church came up with an effective solution. They baptized the squirrels and made them members. Now they see them only on Christmas and Easter.
Stamps
I’m the postmaster for a small town in Pennsylvania. One of my regular customers, Jeff, bought several sheets of newly released commemorative stamps.
Soon after he left, a woman came in carrying two crisp sheets of Harry Houdini stamps she’d found in the parking lot.
The next morning, I gave Jeff the sheets of stamps he’d lost. “You know,” Jeff said to me, “I’m not at all that surprised the Houdini stamps reappeared.”
Gifts, Expectations
Koos van der Merwe tried a new shampoo for the first time and was so pleased with it that he mailed off an enthusiastic letter of approval to the manufacturer.
Several weeks later, he came home from work and discovered a large carton had come in the mail. Inside were free samples of the many products the same company produced: soaps, detergents, tooth paste, and more, along with a thank-you note from the manufacturer.
“Well, what do you think?” asked his smiling wife.
Van replied, “I think that next time, I’m writing to Toyota.”
