A manager from Kentucky Chicken arranges
to visit the Pope. After receiving the papal blessing, he whispers, "Your
Eminence, we have a deal for you. If you change The Lord's Prayer from
"give us this day our daily bread...." to "give us this day our daily chicken....",
then we will donate $500 million dollars to the Church".
The Pope responds saying, "That is impossible.
The Prayer is the Word of the Lord and it must not be changed."
"Well," says the Kentucky manager, "We
are prepared to donate $1 billion to the Church if you change the Lord's
Prayer from "give us this day our daily bread...." to "give us this day
our daily chicken...."
Again the Pope replies, "That is impossible.
The Prayer is the Word of the Lord and it must not be changed".
Finally, the Kentucky guy says, "This is
our last offer. We will donate $5 BILLION to the church if you change the
Lord's Prayer from "give us this day our daily bread...." to "give us this
day our daily chicken...." and then he leaves.
The next day the Pope meets with the College
of Cardinals to say that he has good news and some bad news.
"The good news is that the Church has come
into $5 billion." the Pope announces.
"And the bad news is that we are losing
the Wonder Bread Account!"
