  ------- Forwarded foolishness follows -------



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 Wonder Bread account."
