Colonel Sanders was
worried about a dip in the sales at KFC, so he turned to the Pope for
help.
"Holy Father,
I need you to change the words in the Lord's Prayer from
'Give us this day, our daily bread' to
'Give us this day, our daily chicken'," he says.
"I can't do that."
said the Pope. "It's the Lord's Prayer."
After a further dip
in sales the Colonel makes another appeal.
"I'll give you $50 million if you'll change the prayer."
"Sorry!"
says the Pope. "No can do."
"I'll give you
$150 million then.", says the desperate Colonel.
"You can do a lot of good work with all that."
"I'll get back
to you," says the Pope.
The next day the Pope
addressed his Cardinals, saying
"I've got some good news and I've got some bad news. We are going
to get $150 million from KFC to do good work around the world."
All the Cardinals
let out a mighty cheer!
"The bad news,"
said the Pope, "...is we are going to lose the Hovis
account"
