Colonel Sanders called the Pope up one day and said, “You’ve got to help me out. Β Chicken sales are way down. Β I’ll pay you $10 million to change the Lord’s Prayer Β to give us this day our Daily Chicken.”
The Pope said,”I can’t do that. Β We can’t just change the Lord’s Prayer!”
The Colonel let it go but was back begging a few days later, “Your imminence, please help! Β I’ll donate $50 million to the church!”
“Absolutely not!” Answered the Pope. Β “The Lord’s Word is not for sale!”
A month or two later the Colonel was back.” Your imminence. Β Please help! Β All you have to do is change the Lord’s Prayer to give us our Daily Chicken. Β It’s not that big of a deal. Β Can’t you help me out for a $100 Million donation to the church?
“Well,” said the Pope.” That’s too great a donation for me to turn down without speaking to my advisors. Β Let me speak to them and get back to you.”
When he spoke to the Cardinals, he said, “We’ve been offered a huge donation, but it’s not all good news. Β It’s going to cost us the Wonder Bread Account.”
