The pope is sitting in his offic one day, when his assistant leads
a well dressed buissness man into the office. The assistant promptly
introduced the man. "your holiness, this is Mr Smith with the KFC
corperation." The pope remains silent.
Mr Smith quickly gets down to buissness, " your holiness, my
corperation will pay you ten million dollars if you will agree to
change the Lords prayer from 'give us this day our daily bread' to
'give us this day our daily fried chicken'. The pope stands up
suddenly, and with a steady comanding voice instructs his assistant
to remove mr smith.
A week goes by and Mr Smith returns, and is led to the pope once
again, "50 million", Mr Smith says. The pope is silent for a long time
but finally responds, "I do not think so Mr Smith"
Another week goes by and once again Mr Smith returns. "100 million
dollars" Mr Smith exclaims, "but not a penny more". The pope sits quiet
for one minute then exclaims "okay Mr Smith".
The next month the pope is at a meeting with the bishops and
cardnials, when the pope turns to adresses the crowd he says " I've
got good news, and I've got bad news". "The good new is that we will
be changing the Lords prayer to say 'give us this day our daily
chicken..... the bad news is that we will no longer be working
with the wonder bread account"
