KFC and the Pope

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 Ł50 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 Ł100 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 Ł100 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."

How to make a fortune joke

Engineers and Managers A businessman flying in a hot air balloon realizes he is lost. So he reduces his altitude and hovers over a man who is standing in the field below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts, "Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?" The man below says, "Yes, you're in a hot air balloon, about 30 feet above this field." "You must be an engineer," says the balloonist. "I am. How did you know?" "Everything you told me is technically correct, but it's of no use to anyone." The man below says, "You must be in management." "I am. But how did you know?" "You don't know where you are, or where you're going, but you expect me to be able to help. You're in the same position you were before we met, but now it's all my fault."

Cookie File Jokes

  Cookie Files  Lack of censorship or control on the net has resulted in even the weirdest, most depraved interests being catered for. As a consequence there now exists a vast array of information for fanatical train spotters and over passionate stamp collectors. If Christopher Columbus had been on the internet he could have discovered America without leaving home. The reason emails go missing is that they sometimes take the scenic route and lose their way in the Paris Metro. It’s bizarre - a website set up to help people who are addicted to surfing has become so popular that some people visit it a hundred times every day.

Viagra - A Cure for Everything

A young man goes to visit his grandfather in the nursing home. He asks the elderly gentleman how he has been sleeping at night. The grandfather replies that they give him a cup of hot chocolate and a Viagra tablet every night before he goes to bed and he sleeps like a baby. The man thinks it strange giving an old man Viagra so he finds his grandfather's nurse to ask why. “The hot chocolate makes him sleepy,” replies the nurse, “and the Viagra keeps him from rolling out of bed.”
