So he went to the pet store & told the owner he wanted to buy an unusual pet.
After some discussion, he finally bought a talking centipede, yeah... the 100 legged bug thingy... which came in a little white box to use for his house.
He took his new friend & box back home, found a good spot for the box & decided he would start off by taking his new pet to church with him. So he asked the centipede - who he had named Ceronimose...
"Would you like to go to church with me today"?
But there was no reply.
This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes & asked again...
"How about going to church with me & receive a blessing"?
But again there was no answer from Ceronimose so he waited a few more minutes thinking about the situation.
He decided to invite his new friend one last time.
This time he put his face up against the centipede's house & shouted...
"Hey, in there!! Would you like to go to church with me"?
This time, a little voice came out of the box...
"I heard you the first time! I'm putting my shoes on!"
