the businessman & the Pope...

    During a Papal audience, a marketing exec from KFC approached the Pope and made this offer: change the line in the Our Father from "give us this day our daily bread" to "give us this day our daily chicken" and KFC will donate €10 million to Catholic charities. The Pope declined.

    2 weeks later the man approached the Pope again. This time with a €50 million offer. Again the Pope declined.

    A month later the man offers €100 million! This time the Pope accepts. At the next Cardinal Weekly Meeting, the Pope announces his decision in the good news/bad news format:

    "The good news is... we have €100 million for charities,

    the bad news is... we lost the Johnston Mooney & O'Brien account!"

    :P
