Looks like some people didn't receive all of today's joke. If that's
you, here it is again!

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.
The 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 Wonder Bread Account."
