The Pastor's Cat

Dwight Nelson recently told a true story about the pastor of his church. I have modified it slightly for comedic effect.

~ ~ ~

He had a kitten that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down. The pastor coaxed, offered warm milk, etc. The kitty would not come down.

The tree was not sturdy enough to climb, so the pastor decided that if he tied a rope to his car and pulled it until the tree bent down, he could then reach up and get the kitten. That's what he did, all the while checking his progress in the car. He then figured if he went just a little bit further, the tree would be bent sufficiently for him to reach the kitten.

But as he moved the car a little further forward, the rope broke. The tree went 'boing!' and the kitten instantly sailed through the air and out of sight.

The pastor felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood asking people if they'd seen a little kitten. No. Nobody had seen a stray kitten. So he prayed, 'LORD, I just commit this kitten to your keeping,' and went on about his business.

A few days later he was at the grocery store, and met one of his church members. He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food. This woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it, so he asked her, "Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?'

She replied, 'You won't believe this,' and then told him how her horny teenage son had been begging for pussy, but she kept grounding him to keep him out of trouble. Then a few days before, the boy had begged again, so the Mom finally told her hormonal adolescent son, "Well, if God gives you some pussy, I'll let you keep it."

She told the pastor, 'I watched my child go out in the yard, get on his knees, and ask God for some pussy. And really, Pastor, you won't believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A kitten suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its claws outspread, and landed right square in his crotch. Hasn't asked for pussy since."
