little does the outside world know about a special little mouse that occasionally shares nuggets of wisdom with us:
a church mouse reports . . . .
a church mouse joke
hello
and greetings
and after wandering through the desert for 40 days
and forty nights jesus decided he needed a new robe
and he searched and found a sign for finkelstein the tailor
and ordered a new robe from finkelstein
and after a few days it was finished
and jesus tried it on
and it was a perfect fit
and jesus asked how much he owed
and finkelstein said no no no nothing for the son of god
and jesus thanked him
and was about to leave
and finkelstein said but perhaps you could mention the new robe came from finkelstein the tailor
and jesus readily agreed
and as promised extolled the new robe whenever he spoke to the masses
and a few months later jesus was again in jeruselem
and passed the finkelstein shop
and saw a huge line of customers waiting for finkelstein’s robes
and jesus pushed his way through the crowd
and as soon as finkelstein noticed him he hugged him
and said you’ve made my business boom would you consider a partnership
and jesus replied certainly we’ll call it jesus and finkelstein
and finkelstein said no no no it must be finkelstein and jesus since i am the craftsman
and the two of them debated this for some time
and the discussion was long and spirited
and ultimately reached a mutually acceptable compromise
and in a few days a new sign went up over the shop – lord and taylor
and after you stop moaning remember jesus loves you
and so do i
