The CEO of Tyson Foods manages to arrange a meeting
with the Pope at the
Vatican. After receiving the papal blessing, he
whispers, "Your
eminence,
we have an offer for you. Tyson Foods is prepared to
donate $100 million
dollars 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.'
The Pope responds, "That is impossible. The Prayer is
the word of the
Lord -
it must not be changed."
"Well," says the Tyson man, "we anticipated your
reluctance. For this
reason, we will increase our offer to $300 million
dollars. All we require
is that 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,
my son, is impossible. For the prayer is the word of
the Lord and it must
not be changed."
Finally, the Tyson guy says, "Your Holiness, we at
Tyson Foods respect your
adherence to your faith, but we do have one final
offer. We will donate
$500
million dollars - that's half a billion dollars - to
the great Catholic
Church if you would only change the Lord's Prayer from
'give us this day our
daily bread' to 'give us this day our daily chicken.'
Please consider it."
And he leaves.
The next day the Pope convenes the College of
Cardinals. "There is some
good
news," he announces, "and some bad news."
"The good news is that the Church has come into $500
million dollars."
"And the bad news, your eminence?" asks a Cardinal.
"We're losing the Wonderbread account
