A guy from Tyson Foods arranges to visit the Pope. After
receiving the papal blessing he whispers, "Your Eminence,
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....' then 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 some bad news.

"The good news is that the Church has come into $5 billion.
The bad news is that we are losing The Wonderbread Account"
