AArt that reminds me of one my Grandma said once-

It was raining one day and came along a cold snap and the pigeons all froze to the ridgepole and evetroughs of the church. They all got to beating their wings and flew off with that church and got tired about the time they flew over eastern Tenesee.

they swung low and the church thawed and finally dropped unharmed to the sod nearby to where they were holding a salvation meeting, whereupon the minister looked at this church full of people who just came from the sky. The church door opened, and a priest poked his head out and looked. The minister looked at his flock, back at the priest in the church and said in his loudest baritone:

"GOOD DAY, MISTUH JESUS! HOW'S YOUR DADDY DOIN' THESE DAYS?"

FWIW
