THE BATS

There were three vicars at a Synod meeting, and the talk came round to bats in their belfries. The first vicar said he had wire netting put up but to no avail; the second said he had captured all his bats, put them in cages, and taken them 100 miles away to a cave but they were back the following night. The third said, "I baptised mine and none of them have ever been back!"
