  • Christian kittens

    A preacher comes upon a girl playing with a box holding a litter of new-born kittens inside. “What kind of kittens are those?”, he asked.

    “They are Christian kittens”, she said. He left pleased she had Jesus in her thoughts.

    Days later he saw her again. “How are your Christian kittens doing?”, he asked.

    “Oh, they aren’t Christian kittens, they are Atheist”, she replied.

    “I thought they were Christian kittens.” said the preacher.

    “Oh, they were. But now their eyes are open!”

  • Better one of them than one of us.

    A very old Jewish man called his wife to his bed. ‘I am going to die. Please call a priest — I wish to convert to Catholicism.’ His wife responded with shock and disbelief, reminding her husband that they had been devout Jews all their lives. ‘I know, dear,’ he said, ‘but isn’t it better that one of them should die than one of us?’
