The pope is at one of his meetings in the Vatican, when his assistant comes in and in a muffled voice introduces a sharply dressed businessman.

The businessman exclaims that he's the director of KFC and offers the pope ?10 million, if he'll change the line of the lords prayer from "give us this day our daily bread" to "give us this day our daily chicken"...

The pope refuses exclaiming he could never alter the word of God and banishes the businessman from his sight.

Two days later the same guy returns and is introduced and this time offers ?30 million, if only the pope will change that one word of the lords prayer. The pope warns him that he is playing with fire and his soul is surely in trouble if he continues this attack on the word of God and throws him out.

Almost a month passes and then he returns for the final time and after being introduced explains that he will pay ?60 million, if only this one word will be changed.

The pope dismisses everyone but the businessman, speaks in private and then sends the man on his way again.

Later that day the Pope is consulting with his main bishops in their all important monthly meeting and at the end stands.

"I have an important announcement to make" he says, "please listen carefully", "I have some good news, and some bad news"...

"Your holiness?" they all reply in unison.

"We have just recently received ?60 million towards the churches good causes. But I'm afraid we have lost the Hovis account."
