During a Papal audience, a businessman approached the Pope and made this offer: Change the last line of the Lord’s prayer from “give us this day our daily bread” to “give us this day our daily chicken” and KFC will donate 10 million dollars to Catholic charities.
The Pope shook his head and said no to the offer.
Two weeks later the businessman approached the Pope again, this time with a 50 million dollar offer.
Again the Pope declined.
A month later the man offers 100 million, and this time the Pope accepts.
At a meeting of the Cardinals, the Pope announces his decision.
“I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we have 100 million dollars for charities. The bad news is, we lost the Wonder Bread account.” |
