The CEO of Inghams Chickens manages to arrange a meeting with the Pope at the Vatican.

After receiving the papal blessing, he whispers, "Your eminence, we
have an offer for you. Inghams is prepared to donate $100 million
dollars 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.'

The Pope responds, "That is impossible. The Prayer is the word of the
Lord it must not be changed."

"Well," says the Inghams man, "we anticipated your reluctance. For this
reason, we will increase our offer to $300 million dollars.

All we require is that 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, my son, is impossible. For the prayer
is the word of the Lord and it must not be changed."

Finally, the Inghams guy says, "Your Holiness, we at Inghams respect
your adherence to your faith, but we do have one final offer. We will
donate $500 million dollars - that's half a billion dollars - to the
great Catholic church if you would only change the Lord's Prayer from
'give us this day our daily bread' to 'give us this day our daily
chicken.' Please consider it."

And he leaves.

The next day the Pope convenes the College of Cardinals. "There is some
good news," he announces, "and some bad news." "The good news is that
the Church will come into $500 million dollars."

"And the bad news, your Eminence?" asks a Cardinal.

"We're losing the Tip Top Account."
