Joke

Anyone who knows stereotypical Baptists ought to enjoy this one:

Ever mindful of his congregation, when the Baptist preacher and his wife decided to get a new dog they knew that the dog would have to be a Baptist.
.
They visited kennel after kennel and explained their needs. Finally, they found a kennel whose owner assured them he had just the dog they wanted.

The owner brought the dog to meet the pastor and his wife.

"Fetch the Bible," he commanded. The dog bounded to the bookshelf, scrutinized the books, located the Bible, gently retrieved it, and brought it to the owner.

"Now find John 3:16," he commanded.The dog carefully placed the Bible on the floor, and showing marvelous dexterity with his paws, leafed through and finding the correct passage, pointed to it with his paw.

The pastor and his wife were very impressed and purchased the dog.

That evening, a group of church members came to visit. The pastor and his wife began to show off the dog, having him locate several Bible verses.
The visitors were very impressed. One man asked, "Can he do regular dog tricks, too?"

"I haven't tried yet," the pastor replied. He pointed his finger at
the dog. "HEEL!" the pastor commanded. The dog immediately jumped on a chair, placed one paw on the pastor's forehead and began to howl.

The pastor looked at his wife in shock and said, "Good Lord! He's PENTECOSTAL!"

I don't know who gets credit - I received this one in an email from a pastor.
