KFC & The Pope?!
Question: After watching sales falling for six consecutive months at Kentucky Fried Chicken, the Colonel calls up the Pope and asks for a favour.
The Pope says, "What can I do?"
The Colonel says, "I need you to change the daily prayer from, 'Give us this day our daily bread' to 'Give us this day our daily chicken'. If you do it, I'll donate 10 Million Dollars to the Vatican."
The Pope replies, "I am sorry. That is the Lord's prayer and I can not change the words."
So the Colonel hangs up. After another two months of dismal sales, the Colonel panics, and calls the pope again.
"Listen your Excellency. I really need your help. I'll give you ￡50 million dollars if you change the words of the daily prayer from 'Give us this day our daily bread' to 'Give us this day our daily chicken.'"
And the Pope responds, "It is very tempting, Colonel Sanders. The church could do a lot of good with that much money. It would help us support many charities. But, again, I must decline. It is the Lord's prayer, and I can't change the words."
So the Colonel gives up again. After six more months of terrible sales the Colonel gets desperate. "This is my final offer, your Excellency. If you change the words of the daily prayer from, 'Give us this day our daily bread' to 'Give us this day our daily chicken' I will donate ￡100 million to the Vatican."
The Pope replies, "Let me get back to you."
So the next day, the Pope calls together all of his bishops and he says, "I have some good news and I have some bad news. The good news is that KFC is going to donate ￡100 million to the Vatican."
The bishops rejoice at the news. Then one asks about the bad news.
"The bad news,” replies the Pope, is that we lost the Hovis Bread account."

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Oh My God! That was simply hilarious! Star for you!!!
Has a good punchline but builds it up to much so it made it not so funny
aha, aha, aha, ha,ha,ha,ha,ha???
haha boom boom
It's a modern version of an old joke.
The old joke is coca-coal wants the prayer to be 'give us this day our dialy coke'
The punch line, when the coke executives asks their boss how the agreement went with the pope, the boss answers.
'It didn't go well, he refuses to chang the word bread to coke, so what I want you all to find out is, how much the baker is paying him/
