Every Sunday, a little old lady placed $1,000 in the collection
plate at her church. This went on for several weeks until the
pastor, overcome by curiosity, approached her one day.
"Ma'am, I couldn't help but notice that you put $1,000 a week in
the collection plate," he stated.
"Why yes," she replied, "Every week my son sends me money, and
since I don't need it all, I give $1000 to the church."
The pastor replied, "That's wonderful! How much does he send you?"
The old lady replied, "Oh, around $20,000 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 is a very honorable profession," the pastor said. "Where
does he practice?"
The old lady said proudly, "Well, he has two cat houses in Las
Vegas and a chicken ranch in Reno."
