01/11/22 Grif.Net – Up a Tree

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!"
