I have one of Jimmy Houston's Audio books and this joke is in it.
I saw the most amazing thing yesterday. It was warm and I took a fishing pole and went down to a small creek that goes behind my house. The water was warm and I was standing beside a deep hole in the creek, fishing beside a fallen tree. I noticed that one particularly large limb of the tree stuck out in the water and was broken off, and right on the end, there laid a large acorn, almost in the water. I didn't think much about it but knew some creature had to lay that acorn there. Not being under a tree, there was no way it could have fallen where it lay.
Later, after I had moved around the hole to another good casting spot, I watched a squirrel hop out onto the fallen tree, spot the acorn and start toward it. He was a bit anxious from me being near, but I stepped back into the shadows just to watch him (fish weren't biting). He finally got his nerve up enough to get out to the end of the log, and get the acorn. Just as he picked it up, a HUGE bass jumped out of the water, and the squirrel was gone!
I stood there dumbstruck, the bass ate a squirrel. But that wasn't the amazing part. The amazing part was when that bass rose back up out of the water winked at me then laid that acorn back on the end of that log.
