This hand written joke is one of my favorites. We read this together out loud upon finding the black book it resides in. My Grandmother was a proud Lutheran and was never afraid to poke fun at herself and knew a good joke was just that, a joke. I am not sure who told her this or where she got it from, but it was a keeper in her mind.

A certain Baptist preacher has been compelled to move so many times. His children were young so they adjusted quickly but as they got older adjusting became more difficult. The Baptist preacher and family moved to a new town, a new church. The children became so unhappy. They were irritable, fussy, and frumpy. Nothing pleased them.
One morning the preacher noticed a sign as he was going to the church office. The sign read "beautiful kittens for free." On the way back home the Baptist preacher had an idea when he saw free kittins. He said "I'll get the children a kitten. That will occupy their time and they will be happy again."
When he brought the kitten home the children were simply elated. But right soon the phone rang and the preacher had to leave immediately.
Being brought up in the Baptist faith the children decided the kitten must be baptized. They got a tub, filled it with water and grabbed a towel to dry it with. So they got the kitten and tried to immerse it in the tub but the kitten's hair began to bristled up, it scratched and clawed them. Frustrated the oldest child said "ah heck, let's just splash some water on it like the Lutherans do and let it go to hell."
