Petros Baptist Church

Robert D. gave me this from the Readers Digest and I think you’ll find it enjoyable.

An old dollar bill and an even older $20 arrive at a Federal Reserve Bank to be retired. “I’ve had a pretty good life,” the $20 says. “I’ve been to Vegas, the finest restaurants in New York and even on a cruise toe the Caribbean.” “You did have an exciting life!” the $1 says. “Where have you been?” the $20 asks. “Oh I’ve been to the Methodist Church, the Baptist Church, spent some time with the Lutherans — “ “Wait,” the $20 interrupts. “What’s a church?”

Sometimes in such ‘jokes’ there’s more truth than most would like to admit.
