01/11/22 Grif.Net - Up a Tree
b...@grif.net
Little Johnny is up a tree and won't come down.
His mother pleads, "Johnny, please come down!" He won't.
She calls the police, who order Johnny to descend in the name of the law, but to no avail.
She calls the fire department. Johnny has now climbed even higher, out of reach of the firemen and refuses to come down.
Finally in desperation she calls the local priest. He comes, looks up at Johnny in the tree, and without saying a word, he simply makes the sign of the cross.
Johnny climbs hastily down the tree.
His mother asks, "Johnny, why wouldn't you come down for me, or for the firemen, or for the police, but you came down for the priest?"
Johnny answers, "Mom, without a sound he said, 'YOU up there. Get DOWN here now, or I'll cut your head off!"
