One Sunday while counting the money in the weekly collection plate, the pastor of a small Florida church found a pink envelope containing $1000. It happened again the next week. The following Sunday he watched carefully as the offering was collected and saw a little old lady put one of the distinctive pink envelopes in the plate. This went on for weeks until the pastor, overcome by curiosity, approached her.
"Ma'am, I couldn't help but notice that you've been putting $1,000 a week in the collection plate," he stated.
"Why, yes," she replied. "Every week my son sends me money, and I give some of it to the church."
The pastor replied, "That's wonderful of him. How much does he send you?"
The old lady said, "$10,000 a week."
The pastor was amazed. "Your son is very successful. What does he do for a living?"
"He's a veterinarian," she answered.
"That's certainly an honorable profession," the pastor said. "Where does he practice?"
The old lady said proudly, "In Nevada. He has two cat houses in Las Vegas and one in Reno." :shock:
