One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to her class.
She came to the part of the story where Chicken Little tried to warn the farmer.
She read, “.... and so Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said,
“The sky is falling, the sky is falling!”
The teacher paused then asked the class, “And what do you think that farmer said?”
One little girl raised her hand and said, “I think he said:
‘Holy shit! A talking chicken!’” The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.
One Sunday, in counting the money in the weekly offering,
the Pastor of a small church found a pink envelope containing $1,000.

he watched as the offering was collected and saw an elderly woman

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.
But $1000 is a lot, are you sure you can afford this? How much does he send you?”
The elderly woman answered, “$10,000 a week.”The pastor was amazed.
“Your son is very successful; what does he do for a living?” “He is a veterinarian,”
she answered.. “That’s an honorable profession, but I had no idea they made
that much money,” the pastor said. “Where does he practice?”
The woman answered proudly, “In Nevada..... He has two cat houses,
one in Las Vegas, and one in Reno ‘
