It's All In The Advertising (joke)
I was just crusing rec.humor.funny.reruns and saw this one -- it seemed
appropriate for this group :-) Seems that Colonel Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame was exploring new ways to advertise. He spent several days thinking on the problem and come up with an idea. Leaning over to his phone, he called the Vatican City and asked to speak to the Pope, indicating that he would like to make a sizable donation. "Hello, my son?" "Hello, your Grace, I am calling because I would like to make a sizable donation to the Roman Catholic Church." "How nice! Why don't you send it in the mail? "Would you like me to send one hundred million dollars in the mail?" "One hundred million dollars! Bless you, my son. Why no, of course. My representative can visit you at your convenience!" "But there is one little string attached..." "Oh?" "You know that part in the Lord's Prayer where you say 'Give us this day our daily bread'? I'd like that changed to 'Give us this day our daily chicken'." "Oh, I see..." The Pope covers the microphone and yells to the Cardinal attending him, "How long do we still have on that Wonder Bread Contract?" -- Saffire 205/169/125 - 5'2.5" Atkins since 6/14/03 Progress photo: http://photos.yahoo.com/saffire333 |

Not funny, just disrespectful-
Hmmm. -and I'm not even a very good Catholic, as they go... I have thought about "The Lord's Prayer" and the part about: "-give us this day, our daily bread..." Would God make such a mistake? Give us this day, our daily meat? "Saffire" wrote in message .. .
