A man goes to see the Pope. "Your Holiness. I work for KFC, and we'll offer you ten million dollars to change the reading of the Lord's Prayer from 'Give us this day our daily bread' to 'Give us this day our daily chicken.'"
The Pope is aghast. "I can't just go changing God's word for money!"
The man says, "Fifty million! Now, think of all the good the church could do with all that money, Your Holiness!"
The Pope in unimpressed. "I already told you. I just can't do it. I'm sorry."
So the guy says, "Okay, final offer - $100 million. Take it or leave it."
The next day, the Pope calls all the leaders of the church together and says, "Gentlemen, I have good news, and I have bad news. The good news is we've raised $100 million for Catholic Charities."
The room erupts in cheers!
The Pope waits for the room to settle down, and then says, "And now for the bad news: We lost the Wonder Bread account."
