THE WONDER OF IT ALL

The chicken industry was in terrible shape, losing money and laying off thousands of employees. Industry leaders hit upon a plan. They went to see the Pope and said, "We'll give you a million dollars if you can convince the world's religious leaders to change the part of the Bible that says, "Give us this day our daily bread" to, "Give us this day our daily chicken."

The Pope was outraged and said, "No!!"

The chicken leaders said, "Ok, ten million dollars."

The Pope replied, "Absolutely not! I will not tamper with the Word of God!"

The men said, "Ok, one hundred million dollars!"

The Pope couldn't resist anymore. He accepted.

At the next meeting of the General Council, the Pope said, "I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is that I've made 100 million dollars for the church. The bad news is that we lost the Wonder Bread account."
