> One Sunday, in counting the money in the weekly

It happened again the next week.
The following Sunday, he watched as the offering was
> collected and saw a little old lady put the
> distinctive pink envelope in the plate. This went on
> for weeks until the pastor, overcome by curiosity,
> approached her.
> "Ma'am, I couldn't help but notice that you put $1,000
> a week in the collection plate," he stated.
> "Why yes," she replied, "every week my son sends me
> money, and I give some of it to the church."
> The pastor replied, "That's wonderful, how much does
> he send you?"
> The old lady said, "$10,000 a week."
> The pastor was amazed.
> "Your son is very successful; what does he do for a
> living?"
> "He is a veterinarian," she answered.
> "That is an honorable profession,"
> the pastor said. "Where does he practice?"
> The little old lady said proudly, "In Nevada. He has
> two cat houses in Las Vegas and one in Reno."
