Mississippi Squirrel Revival

A young boy visiting relatives in Pascagoula, Mississippi catches a wild squirrel, which he sneaks into the First Self-Righteous Church during a Sunday service.

When the squirrel escapes his box, it heads into the overalls of one of the other parishioners, who jumps in shock and discomfort (thinking "he had a Weed Eater loose in his Fruit of the Looms").

In the front pew, "Sister Bertha Better-N-You," a holier-than-thou parishioner who had been watching the previous incident "with sadistic glee," panics when the squirrel suddenly runs into her dress.

Following the ordeal, the church experiences a sudden renewal-revival and a wave of baptisms, rededications, increased tithes, and volunteers to go on foreign missions.
