Humor 5/12/97: Daily Chicken

Hi everyone,

I hope all of you had a good weekend. I had a great time seeing old
friends and meeting new ones at my friends' wedding. Congratulations
Eugene & Sally! Welcome to those of you who are getting this humor
email for the first time.

This week's humor email comes to me from David Martin. Enjoy!

A guy from Tyson Foods arranges to visit the Pope. After receiving
the
papal blessing he whispers, "Your Eminence, do we have a deal for you.

If you change The Lord's Prayer from 'give us this day our daily
bread....' to 'give us this day our daily chicken....' we will
donate $500 million dollars to the Church".

The Pope responds saying, "That is impossible. The Prayer is the Word

of the Lord and it must not be changed".

"Well," says the Tyson man, "we are prepared to donate $1 billion to
the
Church if you change the Lord's Prayer from 'give us this day our
daily
bread....' to 'give us this day our daily chicken...."

Again the Pope replies "That is impossible. The Prayer is the Word of
the Lord and it must not be changed".

Finally, the Tyson guy says, "This is our last offer. We will donate
$5 billion to the church if you change the Lord's Prayer from 'give us

this day our daily bread....' to 'give us this day our daily
chicken....'" and he leaves.

Next day the Pope meets with the College of Cardinals to say that he
has good news and bad news.

"The good news is that the Church has come into $5 billion".

"The bad news is that we are losing The Wonderbread Account".
